Hello everyone,
I hope the topic description fits my question. Our house is now turnkey ready. The electrician rolled up all the network cables and hung them under the circuit breaker panel in the utility room.
For cost reasons, I would like to connect the cables to the patch panel myself.
I have 6 network outlets in the house. So I need a patch panel with at least 6 ports. A network switch and a Fritz!Box are already available.
Which patch panel would you recommend?
What else do I need to connect to the patch panel?
The "small thin gray" cable is the telephone connection, right? Which connector do I need for that?
I hope you can give me a bit of guidance.

Question: Does the FritzBox have a standard RJ45 port as a DSL input?
If so, one could/I could connect the TAE socket directly to the patch panel using a TAE-to-RJ45 cable. Then, on the back, patch the two living room CAT7 cables and connect them to the switch.
The FB in the living room could be hidden in a cabinet. The cabinet is definitely more “transparent” than two calcium silicate brick walls.

In our setup, the Fritzbox is directly connected behind the cable modem, and the internet is fed through a LAN input.
We also have the 7390 model, which is located on the server cabinet. I'm currently considering external antennas, but you could also just place a router in the living room, which is even cheaper.
Putting the Fritzbox in the living room only works if the phone cable is there as well (at least when the phone is also connected via the Fritzbox and you still use a regular telephone).

Connect the Fritzbox to the left outlet – then use the LAN output to the second outlet, thus returning to the utility room?
I’m not sure. I’ve been drawing plans all along to try and visualize this.

He says the FritzBox is best placed in the utility room, so centrally located with the other network equipment. Why?
