Hello.
Our builder told us that a TAE socket is no longer required. Modern routers like the FritzBox should be connected differently to get Internet access. As I understand it, a Cat cable is connected directly to the telephone main line, which then goes into the router (FritzBox works)... Could you please clarify what he means by this and if it is really the case?
Thank you.

This can also be extended and laid out accordingly, but not within the scope of an IT cabling patch panel. In that case, the Fritz device may need to be placed in the connection room and a separate Wi-Fi access point installed.A coaxial cable can be installed just like a twisted pair cable. There is no reason for a workaround.
I’m taking the liberty of bringing up this very old topic again because I have already learned a lot here about my question, but I want to make sure I really understand it correctly.
Situation: Complete renovation of a single-family house from the 1950s; we are replacing all the electrical wiring, and we have a general contractor who is also handling the electrical work overall, but I suspect they might not be up to date on the latest regarding “internet.” That’s why I am now researching this myself as a layperson.
My goal is to have a double RJ45 socket (‘LAN outlet’) in all living rooms.
I want to connect a FritzBox to one of these sockets, which will then provide the house with Wi-Fi, and if needed, an additional Wi-Fi access point on the upper floor.
The main distribution frame (MDF) is installed on the outside of the facade and leads from there into a basement room. As I understand it, the telecom provider is responsible for installing the “first telephone connection point (1. TAE)” at a location of my choice, and I would choose the basement room where the MDF is located on the outside. There, I install a patch panel - and from this patch panel, a duplex LAN cable is run to each RJ45 double socket.
Is this correct? Would I then be able to connect the FritzBox to any LAN socket I want? It has been suggested here to install a LAN socket next to the patch panel as well, but I didn’t understand the reason for that.
Thank you very much!

The search term Access Point will probably lead you to most of the threads relevant to your issue. Why do you still want internet via copper today, and why Telekom? – I would at least also consider Vodafone / Kabel Deutschland or fiber optic providers (e.g., regional "municipal utilities") on equal terms.

The TAE socket is directly connected to the router. This can also be done via the TAE to RJ45 to RJ45 to FritzBox connection. However, if the FritzBox is located not in the basement but in a living area, both LAN sockets there will be occupied (1x input from the TAE, 1x output back to the basement to the patch panel and switch). Therefore, if it is clear where the router will be installed, there should be one additional socket at that location.
Otherwise, just connect a switch to the patch panel, and that’s it.

I understand it like this now: Telekom is responsible for installing the "first TAE" at a location of my choice

The internal wiring behind it is always the same. Unless he starts with in-house fiber optic cabling, but that would probably be a bit excessive.
