No, it is definitely not better. But you do save the power cables.

Semi-amateur opinion. So, we installed the following in our new build. Did it ourselves. (KS stone) Utility room with server cabinet (19“) / Fritzbox (WLAN disabled) and POE switch On the ground floor (central)! then connected a TP Link EAP245, was supposed to be mounted on the wall – but is now under the couch Between ground floor and upper floor fiber optic cable On the upper floor switch without POE and again a TP Link EAP245 on the wall (in the future wall cabinet, central), outside is a TP Link EAP 225. Conclusion: everything was easy to set up as a layman, 2.4 and 5GHz network + guest WLAN and ground floor/upper floor/outside (2200sqm) complete WLAN coverage. Real conclusion, completely sufficient for non-power data movers. The only annoying thing is that I have to disable my WLAN for this forum here (it detects the PiHole) damn ;-) !!

I have a question right away. In principle, I understand the structure of a home network. But why do photos of patch panels, for example, show 16 patched LAN cables plugged in at the back, and only, for example, 5 LAN cables plugged into the switch ports? Are those only the ports that require Poe(+), and the rest are powered through it? Assuming I have a 24-port patch panel, then I wouldn't even need a 24-port switch, right? For 2 access points and 2 cameras plus some spare capacity, would one with 8 or 12 ports be sufficient?! Or what else is powered with Poe(+)?

No, every connection must go into the switch. The patch panel is nothing more than the organized collection of cable ends. If the cable end is not electrically connected (through the switch), then there is no data at the other end (LAN socket). PoE has nothing to do with this.

So if you see photos - wherever that may be, where your example is the "rule" - then the unconnected ports are simply dead. Some only connect the ports that are actually needed at the moment and the rest is reserved for later. But that actually doesn’t make sense. Because if I want to use such a socket, I first have to run to the basement and patch the connection.
