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
We have always run extra CAT5 for the 433s. Generally we use closets and pantries with placement above the door or cabinets. Once as a last resort we ran it behind the display.
