Mike, if the distances are short enough and you don't run it across or around anything with an electrical field emitting from it, almost any solid conductor twisted-pair wire of 26 Gauge or greater "telephone wire" will do within the confines of a small home or apartment. For the rules and "specs," consult one of the wiring guides from the various cable manufacturers, i.e., Belden. Higher speeds require reduced cross-talk and I wouldn't waste my time with anything other than real "Category 5" cabling beyond 30-50 feet - the installation is the painful part, and it costs just as much to do the labor for the CAT 2 as it does for it's more expensive cousin, CAT-5. Don't scrimp on connectors, either. Buy connectorized cable unless you have to pull it through small conduit or small holes. If you're really into tools and have the budget, buy your own termination kit (includes the crimping tool) and practice on a few before you run the wire. Wireless and "through the power-line" links have some applications, but interference creates some interesting problem potentials that are hard to predict. Best of luck . . . Mr. K.
