Question IR repeater to receiver cable?


Hey Shacksters!

I'm helping a buddy do his pre-wire on his basement HT room.

His equipment will be in-wall in the back corner, and I've been wondering what kind of wire we need to run now before the walls go up in order to work an IR system.

I read Phil M's sticky thread and it seems that I could use CAT5, but later posters show a specially terminated wire.

We don't have time to order the whole getup before the walls go up, so I'm hoping we can get a way with just a CAT5 run between the back equipment shelving and the front of the room where we could put the repeater near the screen.

Thanks for any help!

Phil
