I routed all phone and network cable to a closet and
although it works well, be aware that the normal
clutter in a closet will tend to make everything run
hotter than normal. Plus being an enclosed space, I
would not run anything that consumes more than a few
watts per device. I currently have a DSL router, 16
port switch, wireless router, burglar/fire panel and a
small UPS in the closet, and there is a small but
noticeable amount of heat released when you open the
door. Forget about putting a PC in there.

Cheerful regards,

Bob
