Actually I grabbed a standard 24port cat5e patch panel and terminated three cables on it to demonstrate what the terminations should look like, anything significantly different to this will be an issue.
Also note those short RJ45-RJ45 patch leads that are in the panel, they are voice grade only, they are intended for patching the voice ports (L1/L2 etc) to room outlets only, not for data.

theitman: So went to the house today and had a look to see if I could actually squeeze everything into the cabinet. I can actually fit everything in there but it's tight and probably not safe? So what I'm going to do it have the modem and router in the lounge, I still want to have the lan port in the bedroom active for the gaming PC, can someone further explain how I set that up? Patch from the modem back into a lan port that goes back to the patch panel and jump it? Thanks
My crude paint image was that. But here it is again in more detail. You can replace the switch for 'direct connection to BRDM' but it limits activating other ports in the home without one.

That will limit you to 100Mbit if you don't mind. And like most generic ones will end up the bottle neck when more than 2 ports loaded at full speed.
Not the prettiest example (people will mock :P) ...
Double checked our cabinet(s). And I seem to recall some bright spark wasn't thinking straight and terminated all 7 outlets as forced phone (1:1 from redzone home) in the same cabinet as antenna leads while the ONT and fibre was terminated at a 2nd point above entry.
So I have 2 ETH runs down roof ducting to the 2nd cabinet. 1ph (to hub board) , 1 data (to switch) and then distributed from there to some of the 11 additional cable runs we added - terminated at the rack panel on the right (and 2 outlet faceplates swapped out to go with)
