Guys, could do with a little assistance please.
I have wired my home with Cat5e network cables which all run from my new study. In total I have 8 cables.
Somehow I need to wire this all up.
So, should I terminate each cable with a standard RJ45 plug and just plug into a new giga switch or should I go the patch panel way?
If the patch panel is the way forward, anyone got any good recommendations for a cat5e network to support gigabit?
Switch-wise I'm thinking of going for a Netgear GS116 into which all the house room's network cables will terminate. Along with that I will plug my broadband router into this along with a NAS storage device and my PC. Is this a good approach?
Again any recommendations as to where to buy patch cables/modules etc greatly received.
Finally - which wiring standard should I chose for the modules etc? 568A or 568B or does it not matter as long as it is consistent?
Thanks all.
