Hello everyone,
we are about to buy a house from a developer. Unfortunately, they forgot or decided not to install star-topology Ethernet cabling.
I’m not yet sure if I want or can completely do without it.
So here is my idea for the wiring, and I would appreciate your constructive feedback:
There is an empty conduit from the basement to the upper floor (originally intended for photovoltaic system preparation) that I would like to use to pull a cable (possibly duplex) to the upper floor and distribute it there with a switch. I want to pull only one cable to keep space available in the conduit for future use.
From the basement to the lower ground floor, a new hole would need to be drilled and a cable pulled up to distribute there by switch as well.
Am I missing something in my wiring plan? Cascading switches should actually allow this, right?
Do you see any major problems or performance limitations?
Thanks for your help.
