No power outlet at the access point because you power it through POE.
Outlet according to 6a.
Either injector or POE switch in the server cabinet. With injectors, you need more power outlets in the cabinet. Usually, a POE switch makes more sense with multiple APs or cameras...
The Unifi APs can only be configured with the app. You don't need their entire system. However, not all functions are available then.
At a friend's holiday apartment, we're now also doing "just" FritzBox + cheap switch + 1 NanoHD with injector.
Fritzbox WiFi stays on and the access point is on the other side of the apartment. This way, great coverage with relatively little effort.
Better more cables/outlets than having problems later.
The APs belong on the ceiling. There, better no outlet but work with Keystone or directly on the installation cable (more difficult, better option 1).
Thus, no visible cables at all.

Depending on where you place the outlets, the question is how likely it is that you will connect another device. Double outlet is a bit more expensive, double the amount of cable or duplex. Laying and installation cost the same.

Since this is currently a relevant topic for us, I would like to point out that the installation of APs on the ceiling is very demanding in terms of laying technology. We also have Ubiquiti Access Points (uap-ac-pro) and the available space for inserting a jack or field-terminatable connector is very limited, so this should definitely be done by a professional. Since the ceiling cable has to be shortened significantly, there are not many attempts to connect the connector / jack.

A field-assembly connector is too large for the APs. Even worse for the NanoHDs. With a suspended ceiling, simply make a hole about 3 cm. Feed the installation cable through and attach the keystone module. Then connect a regular patch cable to the module. Access point on top. The cable then completely slides into the ceiling. It’s not complicated; you just have to plan it. Connecting the connector directly to the installation cable also works. But only a normal one, and that is suboptimal. If the installation cable is plastered in and not running in a conduit or in the ceiling, you have the length problem. But you wouldn’t do something like that without a conduit or in the ceiling, would you????

We are doing a wall installation

- Ground floor wall living room/terrace side
- Upper floor wall hallway to the rooms

This is how the whole house will be supplied. Plan a double socket in the bedrooms and the living room for streaming via the TV; we don’t have and won’t need other use cases. There definitely won’t be a LAN socket in the guest toilet or the storage room :)

Tomorrow the rough electrical installation starts and we will go through the house again with the electrician, so I was actually very happy about the thread.

Definitely lay in empty conduits so that you have some slack. With the APs, work with Keystone and then connect to the access point with a patch cable. Then you can place the access point directly on the outlet and you won’t see any cable. It looks so stupid in a new building when a cable runs from a socket to the access point. And you also save the socket.

Empty conduits are all already there. They have been taken into account for the APs. It’s now only about the scope of the installation/boxes.
