Thank you very much for the information. Yes, I think I know some people who can connect something like that. :o It is clear that you cannot expect a direct product recommendation. I was more concerned about whether these are the parts and whether a 40 or 50 EUR part is enough, provided there are no upper limits.

Even at the risk of attracting the hatred of many, I would not necessarily spend money on Cat.7 wiring. And for the following reason:

PowerLan
~ already allows transmission speeds of gross 500 Mbit/s today. Data security during transmission is also not a problem. Current systems also allow encryption. I simply assume that most builders, when patching themselves, can no longer achieve 1 GBit/s. Not to mention good 1 GBit/s routers and switches, with which such transfer rates are even possible in the first place.

The advantage:
1. 0 EUR additional costs due to wiring
2. more than sufficient for everyone who does not want to operate a data center at home
3. no installation effort. Plug into the socket, plug in the network cable, done.

I, for one, will pass on this nonsense.

Thank you very much for the assessment.
I have already read that there are differing opinions regarding Cat 6 and 7. However, Cat 7 is automatically included in the construction specification. So why should I choose something "worse" / cheaper?

If it's already included, then that's good. Cat.7 cables are a good investment and work great. In my opinion, for a single-family house, it is oversized. It's like having a parking garage with 50 spaces built under your basement, but you only own 1 car. You can ask what they would credit you if you canceled it. ;) In your case, however, canceling probably isn't worth it, since a "Kombikabel" made of telephone line and network cable is being installed.

You forgot to back up your claim with facts. Even Cat.5 cabling allows transmission rates of 1GBit/s (if installed correctly). And not even 1/4 of SMEs have a GBit network - I can't think of any reason why you would necessarily need that at home ;)

If the OP wishes, I will gladly do that. Otherwise, I actually don't care much.



You probably mean Cat5e, right?

What works easily on a small scale with Cat5e is unfortunately not always possible on a large scale in home cabling. Please don't take it the wrong way, but somewhere I have to draw the line between free advice and a paid service. Therefore, here is only the superficial summary. With home cabling, even with perfect wiring, a considerable cable length quickly adds up. Additionally, there are various sources of interference.
