On the other ends, I used punchdown keystone jacks.

 

That won't last very long, maybe a few years

if anyone has one of these rapid termination tools that i can borrow, please hook me up :) 

 

I have one.... but am based in Wellington....

Running counter to other posters - if it's a bunch of wiring, get someone else to do it. Cat 6 has thicker cables and finer tolerances = harder to work with. Maybe you're more competent than me though :)

Thank you all for the help.

For the time being, i have the cables sorted. I can always to the punchdown/rapid-termination after the wires are drawn out (can order thing from aliexpress or something later). 

What im now after is what exactly do i fit in the walls of the destinations. On the central point, i will purchase some patch panel which is easy enough (its in the garage, so i dont need to make it too pretty). The other ends of the cables goes to couple of rooms and living rooms etc, and i want to try to make those some sort of wall sockets if possible. Is anyone able to reccomend me some options - because it would be ideal if i can get the sparkies to fix up the wall sockets (so they look tidy), i can do the actual punchdown/rapid-termination later.

Face plates https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/ITPFPKS0021/Dynamix-FP-2PV2-AMDEX-Dual-Port-RJ-45-Face

jacks https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/ITPPPUT21/AMDEX-FP-C6-005-Jack-for-AMDEX-Face-Plates---AMDEX

These seem great, but unfortunately they are out of stock and i need to try sort something out by tomorrow (otherwise i risk loosing the window). Also, I dont actually understand how those faceplates work (im new to DIY house work haha), do you cut a hole in the wall and screw these directly to the wall? Or is there some sort of a box that goes behind that? If so, where do i find the box, and are these boxes standard (will fit any face plate)?

If you don't have lining on the walls, grab some flush boxes (Bunnings will have them - Deta Flush Box White - Trade Pack - Bunnings New Zealand). Screw the side of them to a stud, run the cable into them and then when the wall is lined cut the gib/lining inside the flush box. Then, whatever face plates you get will screw into them.

You cut a hole in the GIB board, install a flush box against a stud, terminate the cable to the faceplate and screw the faceplate to the flush box.

Personally, I use PDL faceplates and keystones so they match every other hotpoint and so on.

OMG thank you, thats what i was missing, a flush box! 

I assume there would be an equivalent of a flush box that sits on top of the wall rather than cutting a hole in it, is there a specific name for those? For context, couple of rooms have concrete walls where i want to put the ethernet fitting in - so cutting a giant hole and pulling wire behind is not an option, the fitting would need to sit on top of the concrete wall. 

Hopefully a sparkie would carry some of these in the van.  

Yep, Mounting boxes - come in different thicknesses - you'd want the smallest/thinnest.

Hehe, I guess it should be a 'proud box' ? Or mounting block as trig42 mentioned.

Various thicknesses/heights are available

IME there is not enough room in surface blocks to get a cat6 in without contorting the cable as the keystone is in the middle of it. There are other options to hold them to a surface

It really depends if the wire exits the back or the top of the keystones you choose when terminated correctly. Most seem to be back only now.

Also, don't get a flush box for low voltage things, there are rings that are totally open or else a box like a flushbox but with an open back that are easier to use. Like these depending on if you are able to get the fitted to the stud before lining goes up or not.

Surface mounting blocks exist, but they're kind-of sucky for Cat6 and basically unworkable for 6A. Not enough space.

I have one these https://verticalcable.com/product/078-2150 if you would like to borrow it, but you do need to order the keystones from amazon and i am on the shore.
