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.

Normally, there is always a color scheme for the A and B variants printed on the back. If the sockets are already installed, ask your electrician which variant they used, otherwise it’s a 50/50 chance.
I always chose A because the wires lie next to each other as they were twisted. If necessary, you can also check this on a socket.

You can definitely see the primary line connection box (APL) there. Was a telephone socket installed next to it?
If so, you would need to plug the cable from the Fritzbox into this socket (if the phone runs through it); otherwise, in addition to the telephone socket, a splitter would need to be installed.
