I've just laid some SWA Cat5e from the cupboard at the front of my house to the detached garage at the rear for a PoE IP CCTV camera. I'm now looking for options on how to terminate it. I'm thinking the last leg, either end, should be via a patch lead.
I was wondering what my options would be? What should I do with the armour - can I cut it off and forget about it, exposing the inner Cat5e and simply place a keystone jack or inline IDC coupler?
Or should I first go through a surface mounted junction box (metal?) where the armour is terminated (earthed?), then go to a coupler, jack, or module?
