Is a connection socket for TV (Sat) and LAN possible?

preferably not directly behind the device

where then? I would have placed them at 105 and thought that both wall mounting and standing on a lowboard with 105 should work?

The box is basically in the wrong place, for connecting, or in case of locking, a nightmare and gagging.

We make 2 empty boxes with a pipe connection downwards. Usually, there is a side board anyway.

Or, for me, through the wall into the storage room.

Quite interesting. While in industry everything is built as decentralized as possible, meaning they prefer to install a small switch and run 1 data cable instead of 4 or 8... at home they take the opposite approach and plaster their walls with cables...

It is much more energy-efficient to operate an 8-port switch in the HAR and, for example, a 4-port switch in the living room for the TV that only runs when needed (8 hours a day, if at all), than to operate a 24 or 48-port switch in the HAR 24/7.
For those who come with the e-waste argument: those 500m (instead of 50m) CAT7 cables also have to be produced first...

Everyone according to their needs and preferences. For me, it would not be an option to distribute small switches everywhere and manage them individually... And the system naturally only works if you always turn the switch behind the TV on and off.

Have you really done comparison tests on energy consumption?

The fewer ports active on my 24-port switch, the less power it draws from the line. I first connected the measuring device and measured 6.5 watts. I believe 6 ports were active. I can't imagine that one or several small switches consume much less.

Whether you prefer to expand centrally or decentrally also has something to do with the use case. With central equipment, you simply don't create a bottleneck as quickly. When working with a decentralized switch, you shouldn't overlook the uplink. You might need to size it larger in that case.

Switch behind switch is all well and good, but on the one hand it doesn’t make things better, ping times also increase, 2 or 3 is okay but more than that is just tinkering. And energy-wise not really sensible.

Everything centralized at one point, put a switch there as needed, done.
