Where will the cables come back to? An in wall networking cabinet can work fine with a 1u switch (which you could get cheap off trademe) that isn't too deep. Below is a photo of how I've done it. The router should be fine even with that many clients. Limitations mainly sit with the number of packets per second it has to process.
I have some spare 1u gigabit switches if you want one but they may be too deep for the cabinet (if that's the way you want to go)

Apsattv:
What is the unit at top of your image?
My understanding is the wall box will have 4x8 patchpanels for the networking stuff, from that i need to get it into a switch, then into the vodafone router. (can the vodafone router even manage 32 ports from a switch going into lan1?
No phones or alarms or other wiring other than the TV ant/skydish distribution
I would expect chorus will put their ont in there as well. I was going to put a small 8 port switch temporarily in it. The electrician however has concerns of the lack of space.
That is a standard 19" rack patch panel put on its side. Since I used Cat6A (shielded), there weren't any other options really but I think you will have more space efficient options when using standard Cat6. Example of these installed into a rack:
If your electrician is worried about space with even an 8 port switch it sounds like you may want to put in a bigger (or multiple) cabinets.
In one of my other cabinets I have the other stuff which includes:
- modded power supply (used for 12v and 5v for the other devices)
- ONT
- Inbound TV aerial and sky dish
- Sky Receiver
- HDMI over cat6A sender
- Mini ITX server
- Mikrotik Router
- UBNT switch
The hole on the left goes into the distribution cabinet from the first pic.
