I would like to create a cabled network at home but don't really know which cables to get etc.
I have two Macs sitting in different rooms and will possibly buy a multi-function networking printer later. I haven't decided where I want to place the printer yet. I would like to place several ethernet outlets around my home even though I won't be using them all at once. Could I connect some of those outlets together (so as to save on using additional cables) as long as I just use one of those shared connectors at once?
And what kind of cables do I need (how many wires)?
PS: I'm aware that a wireless network would be easier top set up, but for various reasons I don't want that.
