Hi all, I was wondering if you can help with my new home setup after recently purchasing our house. If I can explain the setup firstly and what I intend to use and id be happy to hear your thoughts or what I should change. Ive looked into patch panelling but I may add this in a couple of years.
The sky router which is in the downstairs lounge im looking to connect via x2 cat6a patch cables into a module socket in the wall. Im looking to use x2 cat6a solid s-ftp cables to run into the loft then connectimg them to a module. A patch cable will then go into the NVR and the other into a Netgear GS108 switch (8 port). The NVR will have x2 external patch cables running to the outside security cameras (AWG-23). I will then have x6 cat6a patch cables running from the switch to the various computers, sky q, tv, etc in different rooms.
What are your thoughts on this setup?
When more devices need connecting I will look to change my switch to a 16-port or may then decide to do patch panel.
When adding an extra cat6a module in a bedroom wall can I use a patch cable to plug into a switch or do the module cabling need to be a direct connection to the router?
Before saying why cat6a, Im looking to future proof the setup in case more than 1gbs fibre is released.
What are you thoughts? I appreciate any feedback. Hopefully ive got it down to a 'T'.
Thanks.
