Which conduit for LAN cable?

Thank you for your tips. Unfortunately, with our electrician it’s not just a few cents, but almost double the price. Therefore, we will have to slim down a bit

What does the electrician charge for the network?

I don’t understand why people always swear by duplex sockets...

95% of the time you only need one network connection at that spot...

The exception is the smart TV and the game console. For 10€, you can also put an 8-port gigabit switch in the lowboard and directly connect the Sonos system, etc., instead of having the electrician install a 4-gang strip of network sockets...

Computer, 1x network
Smart TV, 1x network
Home server, 1x network (it really belongs in the network cabinet anyway...)
Access point, 1x network
Cameras, 1x network each
Laptop 98% of the time via Wi-Fi. If large amounts of data ever need to be transferred, 1x network socket that can be found anywhere in the house...

Or am I forgetting something important?!

There are some people who have an aversion to additional devices whose purpose they cannot recognize at first glance, or whose use is not very obvious in everyday life due to unnecessary manual operation. Switches probably belong to this type of person.

For me, a double network socket per living room is standard, but otherwise I would have done it exactly like you.

A switch in the new building because you were too stingy to have a duplex socket installed? Really serious?

Are you reading correctly?! Or do you have nothing to say about the other points mentioned and have just picked out the only point to complain about?

If I wanted to switch everything on the TV in the living room to individual sockets, I currently need at least 3 LAN connections. And because of that, I’m supposed to have a duplex socket and a single socket installed separately? In the end, it would even be 2 duplex sockets if you listen to the people here

I have 6 LAN sockets in the living room. INDIVIDUALLY!

That way I’m flexible if I want to rearrange the living/dining room.
Then I just connect my switch there with 3 watts of power consumption, so what? Where’s the problem?

For me, double network outlets per living room are standard, but otherwise I would have done it exactly as you did.

We also had double outlets included as standard. I then exchanged them for single outlets at no extra cost. This way I am much more flexible without significant additional expenses.

Now I have 20 single outlets at all important spots (or places that could become important...) and 2 access points (one on each floor)...
