Using 50% rule on TK properties_barely cash flow
21 November 2016 | 47 replies
As you will read through the rest of my answer, based on the risk profile of the company and property, you may need to run those numbers off a higher percentage, yet only rarely would you be able to run it off of lower and even then I would say 44% to 45%.

Running cable (or phone line) to one spot, or every room, may work for 100% wireless networks, assuming the wireless router can connect up to the modem in that location (the router is your 'network'), but if you want wired ports (and there is certainly good reason to want wired ports, I would), those have to be run using CAT 5 or CAT 6 (preferable) UTP/STP cable with RJ 45 terminations.
