Hello everyone,
I think my question might be a bit silly, but I haven’t found an answer yet, and I might be searching in the wrong way, so I wanted to explain my situation.
In our house, we have installed Cat 7 cables on 4 floors with the corresponding network outlets (RJ45). All these Cat 7 cables lead to the connection room in the basement, where the main telecom connection will also be located.
Now, the internet/telephone/TV service from the telecom provider enters the connection room.
Here is my actual question: I assume the Cat 7 cables will be connected to the "internet" in the connection room. However, we want to place our Wi-Fi router on the ground floor, so NOT in the connection room. Is this even possible?
On the ground floor, where we want to place the Wi-Fi router, the following connections are available:
1 x network outlet (Cat 7)
1 x telephone
Sorry if this is probably the most basic question ever, but I really don’t have enough knowledge about this.
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
benkler1401

Homebuilders (and even more so renovators) are hardcore enthusiasts when it comes to patch panels and Cat 7 cables. In medium-sized companies, there’s still more resistance, and existing cabling is often left in place. Even in electronics forums, private users tend to dominate the topic.
Well then – please, I’m looking forward to your explanation(s).Check the ISO standard or spend five minutes googling. It’s a fixed term with little room for interpretation. Even Wikipedia is suitable for a basic introduction.

Check the ISO standard or just google it for five minutes. Is it really such a problem if I “make do” with 26 years of professional experience in this field?
I would have appreciated it more if you had personally explained to me in five minutes where you think I misunderstood the topic. I’m sure I would have learned more from that than from Wikipedia.

Structured cabling is a term used in professional building infrastructure on a medium to large scale and has no place in private residential settings. Regardless of your professional experience, which I absolutely do not intend to question, it is unlikely to lead to a redefinition of this term or the relevant standards. In a single-family house, the goal is usually to run all outlets to a central point and then, if done well, install a central patch panel there. This is basically the opposite of structured cabling.
Structured cabling is implemented when the unstructured setup (common in single-family homes) is no longer feasible due to limited cable lengths and the system needs to be segmented and scalable. I have somewhat less hands-on professional experience than you, but overall I have been responsible for structured cabling spanning thousands of years cumulatively and tens of thousands of square meters on multiple continents—whatever that contributes to the discussion...

And that exactly IS structured cabling. Although appropriately basic, of course, this simply results from the low complexity of a single-family home, where even floor distributors would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. A single-family home typically consists of only one fire compartment. A theoretical next emergency staircase within a maximum of 30m (100 feet) distance would already be on the neighboring property.

Could you please continue your discussion elsewhere via private messages? It doesn’t help the original poster at all.
This kind of behavior simply ruins the thread; no one feels like reading it anymore, and with so many replies, no constructive input comes from outside either.
It’s a shame for the topic.
