Helping out someone with cabling in their new house. it's a brand new house built by a private developer. The wiring is in a star configuration but only has a single cat5e (I think it is this but it has no markings) running to about 6 rooms. it comes back to behind the socket in one of the bedrooms. there is a small plastic screw in tube which all the blue/white (and another for the solid blue) go into which is then screwed down. The wall connectors around the house have the BT style connectors but these can probably be changed. Considering its a brand new house the job is terrible (like cut outs too big for the faceplates etc.) and there is garage it all could have gone to with the ETP on the side...
Anyway luckily the faceplate where it is all behind backs onto a wardrobe so a patch panel could be fitted in there. There is also a power socket nearby so a socket could be put in here too. what would people recommend for something like this? i was looking at the 10" cabinets but maybe something more flush with the wall?
Apparently the sky guy took about 5 hours to get everything installed too as he had to track down cables in the ceiling. The developer probably got in his cheap mate who has no idea about TCF guidelines. At least it isn't daisy chained!
