Hello,
currently, I am working on the electrical planning. I am wondering whether network cabling makes sense in a new build or not. So far, I have planned only a double socket in the living room and a double socket in the office. Nowadays, people mostly use tablets or laptops and connect via Wi-Fi. What is your opinion on this?

Sebastian791 Jul 2016 21:44Oh, building expert, let's just leave it at that.
I also have sockets everywhere. Just trying to copy a recorded movie from the receiver or something else, Wi-Fi can’t keep up. And I think that even when my children are grown up, wired connections will still be faster with so much steel and concrete than wireless.

Wi-Fi is naturally a challenge with reinforced concrete slabsThat’s true, our Fritzbox is located on the ground floor in the hallway, yet there is almost no Wi-Fi reception in large parts of the upper floor.Sebastian79 schrieb:
We currently have 40 ports in useWow, would you like to share what all of those are for?Regarding the original question:
- Install a dual outlet in every room (also consider attic and garage)
- Add extra outlets in special areas (home office, TV/hi-fi)
- Plan for specific points (Wi-Fi access point, if applicable IP camera, door system/doorbell, ...)
- Use CAT7 cables
==> Of course, it’s not necessary to implement everything (a doorbell can also work without a network connection), but it’s definitely worth considering.
Hello,
we had empty conduits installed in almost every room. This way, anything can be installed later if needed. Laying network cables and satellite cables in the children's rooms today, even though they might only be needed in 10 years at the earliest (our daughter is 1.5 years old and the second child is currently being planned), seemed rather pointless to me.
Best regards,
Andreas

What can I tell you? Not every spot has a connection at the moment. There is LAN behind every TV (including kitchen and bathroom), and also in almost every room, including the garage and attic. It adds up quickly...
