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.

Caspar20201 May 2016 19:29First question after seeing the photo with the APL:
Who installed the APL there and who ran the gray cable?
The reason is that only a telecom technician or a subcontractor is actually allowed to work on the APL.
The APL usually has that strange screw as well.
Normally, the telecom company installs the APL and the first telephone socket.
They also activate the line at the exchange first.
Have you talked to your network provider?

So far, I don’t have a provider. However, during the online check, only Telekom showed a match. All other well-known online providers did not find the address.
No, there is no TAE socket in the utility room. A TAE socket is installed in the hallway. Among the tangled cables between the network and satellite cables, there were two "thin" gray cables that could originate from this main distribution point.
What bothers me is that I now basically have to talk to the electrician about everything he has installed and what I need to do next! If I had been able to plan all this myself, I would have been on top of things from the start.

Caspar20201 May 2016 21:28@bergi: Is the house from a property developer?
Because usually, you contact the builder’s customer service, for example from Telekom. This is typically done about 20 weeks before moving in.
During this process, there is an APL.
These are not easy to get, and a regular electrician usually doesn’t install them in the house.
I suggest you contact your contact person who delivered the house to you.

You can also route telephone connections via the network. We have the TAE socket in the utility room, from where I run a cable to the patch panel, and from there to somewhere else (specifically: the hallway), where the FritzBox is located. The second network cable then goes back to the utility room/patch panel.
Hmm, okay, I’ll contact my seller. I was planning to call the telecom company in the next few days anyway about the line.
No, there is no network socket in the utility room. I have 5 network sockets and one TAE socket in the entire house. The TAE socket is located in the hallway. However, there is no network socket there.
Just a side question: If I have a network socket in the living room, can I somehow “clone” the socket like you can with regular power outlets? Or does it not work that easily with network cables? Currently, I’m planning to run a flat ribbon cable along the baseboard.
