There is a national (US) standard within the BICSI www.bicsi.org suggesting
each and every home have a very special voice+data cable setup.

Of course it includes fiber, making it a very expensive cable (I'd imagine).
I think it's like 2 cat7 strands, a cat 3 strand and 2 MM fiber runs.

Good luck trying to terminate them.

But, anyone could cut the ends off and then get your professional involved.

As for where to get the supplies? Pros use giants like Anixter, Graybar,
and Westell, among others.

if you have walls open install flexible conduit, and definetely all
home runs to a central spot.

standards change fast conduit allows pulling new cable without opening
walls

Not a chance. HD wanted 39 cents/ft for UL fire rated RG6 cable. The
local electrician charged me 10 cents a foot for the RG6 and Cat 5e.
Home Depot price wasnt even "in the neighborhood". Same thing went for 18-4
alarm wire.
