I wired my place Cat5. A lot of work, and I regretted it. I live in

How do you know that the damage your equipment suffered was due to the
Cat 5e wiring and not due to the electrical power conductors?
Electrical power to my computers comes through 30mA differential circuit
breakers to Eaton Ellipse 1600 UPS units. I had no such protection for
the telephone signal, and I saw flashes at the telephone junction box.
So I summise that the Cat5 wiring did the damage.
