The point being... Run extra CAT5! If you can't then look
for wire to utilize (I have taken advantage of unused
keypad and speaker wires). Always prime the customer for
the potential of needing extra RM433s before the project
begins and show up to the job with extras in hand so when
the reception fails you look like the number one problem
solver and integration hero!

This sort of topic came up recently in either this forum or the URC area recently and then kind of died. But I'm curious.....in regards to running extra cat5 for more 433s....where do you guys normally plan to place the 433 or additional/redundant 433s. The last one we did we placed two rfx-250s in the attic space above a large gameroom (one on each end). However, this house is a foamed house so the attic space doesn't get that hot, even though it's in Texas. I would not have felt comfortable putting any rf antenna module in an unfoamed attic as it would melt around August here in Texas.

Would you guys mind sharing where you typically physically locate most of your antennas? Bookshelves? Attic space? Kitchen cabinets? Behind FPDs?

Thanks in advance, Roger
