Thanks Ozy. Wow, on multiple measurements. I am surprised that they need to be so far from the front wall, and more surprised that they are only 5.5 feet apart. That's good to know. I guess...

The GTX is pure copper with a micro thin gold or rhodium plating. The Afterburner is a fine copper alloy. My current Power Ports are 15 coats of high purity nickel over solid copper.

Sheetrock goes up Sunday and next week. All electrical is done. Then spakle, molding, paint, carpet, treatments, furniture and stereo in. Realistically hoping for a mid to late January move in.

Zephyr- why not double up and put a power surge protection unit in my sub-panel? I'm American, isn't more always better?

Thanks Goose. I'm concerned about that with a primary duct in my ceiling. But on the upside, it's a very wide conduit so resistance should be low. I'm insulating the crap out of that area.
