Ok, so I am working on my basement. I'm starting to finish it off, and I am pretty geeky.
I decided I hate how I never have a network jack handy.
so I put in a double gang outlet box, 1/2 power 1/2 network (cat5e)
I have little plastic dividers to separate the low voltage. I'm currently at 13 outlets and am only about 1/2 way done.
network side each box gets 1 or 2 network wires depending on location.
I like, and have leviton keystone jacks for the cat5 ports, and phone or whatnot.
Do I do decora (square hole) duplex (round hole) or a combination.
With prices and everything, combo plates are to much. duplex keystone jacks are a bit hard to find, so I'm thinking just decora.
Also, lifting sheet rock is awesome for your upper body.

Decora should get it done. Yeah, I imagine the sheet rock is a workout. Good luck with the basement.0

Went all Decora. Even though I eventually found the other style plates I was looking for.
I wonder if I could charge people a gym membership to work on my walls?0
