Is a TAE socket no longer needed?

This one is also extendable and thus extendable, but not within the world of an ITK patch panel. Then the Fritz may need to be moved to the connection room and a separate WLAN access point installed.

A coaxial cable can be laid just like a twisted pair cable. No reason for a crutch.

I take the liberty of bringing up this very old topic because I have already learned a lot here regarding my question, but I want to make sure once again that I have really understood it.

Situation: complete renovation of a single-family house from the 1950s; we are renewing all the electronics, have an 'all-rounder' who is also handling the overall electrical work well, but when it comes to "Internet," I don't think he is up-to-date. Therefore, I am now informing myself about it as a layperson.

My goal would be: a double socket RJ45 ('LAN socket'?

I want to connect a FritzBox to one of these sockets, which will then provide the house additionally with WLAN, and if needed, an additional WLAN access point upstairs.

The APL is installed outside on the facade, leading from there into a basement room. I understand it like this: Telekom is responsible for installing the "1st TAE" at a location of my choice, and I would then choose the basement room on the outside of which the APL is located. There I install a patch panel – and from this patch panel, a duplex LAN cable is laid to each RJ45 double socket.

Is that correct? Do I then have the option to connect the FritzBox to any LAN socket? It was partly recommended here to install a LAN socket next to the patch panel as well; I did not understand the reason for that.

Thank you very much!

Presumably, the search term Access Point will lead to most of the threads helpful for your concern. What do you still want to do today with internet over copper, and why Telekom? - I would at least equally consider Vodafone / Kabel Deutschland or fiber optic providers (e.g., regional "Stadtwerke").

The TAE socket is connected directly to the router. This can also happen via the route TAE-RJ45-RJ45-FritzBox. However, if the Fritzbox is not in the basement but in a living room, then both LAN sockets are occupied (1x input from TAE, 1x output back to the basement to the patch panel and switch). So if it is clear where the router is going to be placed, there should be one more socket there.

Otherwise, just add a switch to the patch panel and you're done.

I understand it like this now: Telekom is responsible for installing the "1st TAE" at a location of my choice

Usually, you do not have completely free choice, but it will be the nearest room.

@ 11ant Thank you for your answer! Did I understand it correctly?

Fiber optic is not yet available in our area. What would be different with other providers?

I would at least look equally at Vodafone / Kabel Deutschland or fiber optic providers (e.g., regional "Stadtwerke").

For his question, it does not matter at all how the internet comes in. The wiring behind it is always the same. Unless he starts with in-house fiber optic, but that would probably be a bit over the top.
