"   Wire-Pulling Tips: To distribute pulling force on delicate Cat 5e, make a large loop of cable around the hook on the end of the fish tape (the steel tape used to pull cable). Wrap the cable over itself by at least one turn and cover the looped end with electrical tape. Q:  I&amp;#039;m remodeling my kitchen and I want to get more counter space, more outlets, cable TV and--while I&amp;#039;m at it--a hard-wired Internet connection. Any tips on this project? A:  Counter space is always at a premium, and one of the best ways to make the most of it is to install recessed receptacle boxes. These allow you to push small countertop appliances against the wall, gaining extra inches of space, and the boxes can even make it possible to wall-mount a computer monitor or a small TV. Inspired by your question, we installed this Arlington DVFR2W, a recessed box with a divider that permits a dual installation of power and low-voltage (signal) cables. Running both types of cables into a standard electrical box results in an electrical code violation, so anywhere in the kitchen where you expect to have these cables in proximity, install separate boxes or a box that has a UL listing for dual installation. Here&amp;#039;s another tip: You can avoid signal interference by steering clear of long parallel runs of low-voltage and power cables, and by spacing them well apart. Specialty cable maker Belden recommends at least 3 in. between the two cable types. When it comes to the electrical side of the job, use a high-quality ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet. We chose a self-diagnosing Leviton device that will not transmit power unless it is properly wired. It costs about $13, three bucks more than a regular GFCI, but the added safety is well worth the price. Finally, don&amp;#039;t cobble together your data and communications wiring system. Start by installing a modest distribution panel or eight-port Ethernet switch. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s no need to go overboard,&amp;quot; advises PM senior tech editor Glenn Derene. &amp;quot;Buy something with just enough outputs to handle your current and future needs. Install it and your cable or DSL modem in a central location. Then route the cables where they need to go.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
