Hi, I am trying to determine what I have pre-wired in my house, and what I need to to do to optimize it for ethernet and possibly POE for my security cams
I have a panel in an upstairs closet that has a bunch of orange and blue cat 5e. I have xfinity cable and internet. house built in 2004. Looks like orange is cable TV and terminates in a switch. and I also have the blue cat 5e wires throughout house, but they're not in use. There are wall face plates that have the blue cat 5e behind them but just cut and zip tied. There are also smaller blue cables, not sure what these are. Can anyone help me figure out if this blue cat 5e cable is meant for ethernet?

I have 2 goals:
- optimize current switch for ethernet in each room
- use existing wiring for POE security cameras
