How hard are cable drops?

[DPK]

What tools would I need for the following? Is this simple do do if I have never done it before?

run one drop,two CAT5e cables, from back office to cash wrap (includes cable, connectors, plates, labeling and testing for the cat5 line)

Terminate and lable both ends using a standard ethernet wall plate

not hard. But depends on how the location is setup.

Tiled ceilings ?? dry wall ?? If you need to run the cables in the wall, you will need to cut into the drywall to set your wall plate. You will also need a "fishing cable" to run the wire down into the wall from the ceiling to the location.

You will also need a crimping tool to make your connections.

Also, you can never have too much cable.

piece of cake if you get the right tools and have a solid plan laid out for where you are going to run the cable

I have been doing just this today. Inside walls are not a problem. Outside walls can be nearly impossible(depending on your house construction)
