FTTP and ethernet

[Rekusu]

What ho one and all,

My Plusnet contract is coming to an end so am moving to EE because they can provide a VOip service.

My house does not have CAT6 installed and I want the FTTH box (currently only FTTP) in the loft (where the current line is located) Intend to run a CAT6 from there to the ground floor office space so the router can be in the office. I don't want holes drilled through the wall.

I have a 50m CAT6 cable with factory fitted plugs at each end, and intend to fit this (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ethernet-F...pcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A2FODBJNNTXSR0) with a back-box. Does a regular back-box have sufficient depth to accommodate a CAT6 cable with factory fitted plug?

Thanks and toodle pip

Unlikely a 32mm back box would be sufficient especially if your premoulded cat6 cable has a any strain relief. You can get angled rj45 jacks to help but I guess that depends on the direction your coming into the box from. Might need 47mm backbox to be safe.

Thanks. Tend to think you are correct. May be best to get a regular CAT6 euro module and cut the final plug off the cable.
