Guys,
Have been in new house for 6 months. Builders are coming in in 3 weeks. One of the things I'm doing it cat5e'ing various rooms.
2 runs to kids rooms (x2)
2 runs to living room (Wii, HTPC)
2 runs to study (PC, Router)
2 runs to kitchen
2 runs to playroom.
Think I'm going to skip running it to spare bedroom or our bedroom; the kids will, at some point, probably have desktops in their rooms, hence doing it to their rooms.
Anyway, I'm sorted on dual port network face plates. That's OK. And I know what switch I want to get. That's OK too.
What I'm a bit stuck on is this: At some point (probably in a corner of the study), I'm going to have the 10 runs meeting in one place, which is where the switch will sit.
I have found, on scan, a quad port face plate, but nothing for any more ports that than, short of a rack mount job, and I'm not going to have a rack.
Any thoughts? I could just have bare cables coming out ofthe walls, terminating in RJ45s, but given that not all of the ports will immediately be in use, I'd rather have a neat looking rack-style arrangement, built into the wall.
