Hello everyone,
I am currently planning the selection of network components for my future single-family home (approximately 200m² (2,150 sq ft)).
In this context, CAT7 cables will be installed in all rooms and centrally routed to the utility room, where they will be connected via a patch panel.
All in all, I will need a 48-port gigabit switch (preferably PoE or better PoE+).
The only question is: which model or brand, or from which manufacturer?
Do you have any experience? Can you recommend gigabit switches of this size?
Please no discussions about the size or design of the network switch.
I deliberately want to avoid local switches (for example, near the home theater wall) and connect all network cables to a corresponding wall outlet (my partner insists... theme "everything always has to look tidy" and so on...).
Thanks in advance for your input.
Best regards

We have 9 LAN sockets. Where I need them, I'll put a 5-port switch behind the cabinet, and that will be fine.
For Amazon Prime, that's enough; 4K is overrated...
But I also can't imagine what you need a gigabit network for in a private home when the internet connection only provides 50 MBit.

Hi,
You can’t be serious, right?
Servers, NAS devices, TV recorders that save to a central NAS, large collections of films and music stored centrally...
Best regards,
Andreas

But I also can’t imagine why you would need a gigabit network in a private home when the internet connection only delivers 50 Mbps from the outlet.And that is something I simply don’t want to see—the armies of local switches lying behind the TV, gathering dust over time... that’s not acceptable to me. When building new—just my opinion—you should avoid such setups if possible.
Just for the webcams I plan to install around the house, I already need 6 network outlets alone...

Broadband expansion is ongoing. Some of the larger core communities around here are already running fiber optic cables directly into houses. It won’t be long until the surrounding villages get the same benefit...
Better safe than sorry, and with a gigabit network you’re well prepared for the future.

Well, why is that extreme? Cables and outlets cost practically nothing, so why not just run a cable to every corner... and have at least 2 outlets at every really necessary spot? Either you installed and mounted it all yourself, or your electrician was really cheap. We were charged €170 for two outlets with a cable between them (HAR hallway upstairs). For 9 outlets plus a patch panel, it would have been almost €900. I decided to skip that.
