Hello guys,

I hope the topic description fits my question. Our house is now turnkey. The electrician rolled up all the network cables in the utility room and hung them under the fuse box.

For cost reasons, I would like to connect the cables to the patch panel myself.

I have 6 network sockets in the house. So I need a patch panel with at least 6 ports. Network switch and Fritz!Box are available.

Which patch panel would you recommend?
What else do I need to connect to the patch panel?

The "small thin gray" cable is the telephone connection, right?! Which plug do I need for it?

I hope you can give me a little starting help.

Any standard patch panel (suitable for 1000Mbit) is sufficient. More important is to get an "lsa punch-down tool" to properly and stress-free "punch down" the wires. It costs at most 20 EUR.

Patch cables (i.e. short network cables) to connect the patch panel to the FritzBox or the switch.

The gray one could be the telephone line from the house side. Where is the telephone connection coming from outside?

If you get an ISDN NTBA, you can also connect the telephone cable directly to the NTBA using the terminals.

If it is analog, or if you want to connect the phones via the FritzBox, you can connect the cable to the FritzBox using a TAE plug or RJ45. If you don't have a crimping tool, the TAE plug kit is easier to assemble with the cable. Otherwise, you prepare it here with RJ45 (but only with the right tool).

Hi bergi,

I would recommend a patch panel with, for example, 12 ports instead of just 6. You connect the 6 sockets in your house each to a port on the patch panel, and do the same with your Fritzbox or other devices you want to connect. This way you can switch the patch cables directly at the patch panel. But in the end, it is a matter of preference; you can of course also just take 6 ports and connect the patch cables directly to the devices.



I can’t give you a special recommendation for the panel, but I also haven’t had any negative experiences with cheap suppliers. What you still need is an LSA punch down tool.



I would connect the cable directly to a TAE surface-mounted socket.

Best regards Sascha

And leave the cables behind the patch panel sufficiently long. Sooner or later, you will thank yourself for not having shortened them.

At Amazon, there is a network installation kit that includes a cable tester which checks all 8 wires. This way, you can be sure that all cables have been installed properly.

: Where does your phone line from outside come from? Do you already have one?
