Hello everyone,
I’m trying to get an early start and am already thinking about the wiring for the house that doesn’t exist yet (bungalow is fine).
What I know so far:
A small server/media center will be installed later in the utility room. The network wiring should be done with CAT7.
Five network outlets are needed in the living room.
One outlet in each children’s bedroom/bedroom.
I would also like to equip the kitchen with two outlets. The bathroom will remain without any.
That’s about all for now.
I don’t have exact ideas yet on how I want to implement all of this.
Internet access is obvious. Running cables from the patch panel in the utility room to the rooms. Ideally, using dual-port network sockets (I don’t know the exact technical term, but I think you know what I mean).
That shouldn’t be a problem with CAT7, right?
I’m totally uncertain when it comes to the TV setup. Currently, we have IPTV (one channel for watching and one for recording) and are quite satisfied.
Unfortunately, according to the provider, we’ll only get a 16 Mbps connection later. IPTV will work with that, but when the kids get older and more people are using the network, I’ll really struggle.
So I’m trying to think ahead and am slowly considering a satellite dish. That would mean I’d need to run coaxial cables everywhere, right? Plus, a receiver for each.
How does that work? Can I place one receiver in the utility room and then run star-shaped cables from there to the rooms (kids will also want TV)? Or does each room need its own receiver, with a star setup running from the satellite dish?

Hello,
@Evolith: Have you ever looked into the system from the company "Homeway"?
With this system, you can configure your connection sockets quite freely and also "rebuild" them at any time (since it’s a plug-in system) if the configuration no longer fits.
We installed this system in our house and are very satisfied with it.
Best regards,
DirkYes, I watched a presentation from them once. But does every electrician install it? And is it more affordable than standard solutions? What other benefits do I have besides the sockets being conveniently replaceable and the cables being nicely organized?

And it’s probably not cheaper than a standard solution either.
What convinced us was the great flexibility – so that (hopefully) in the future we can meet our requirements in every room with just one connection box by simply plugging and unplugging.

And for that price, I’d rather get a decent access point...
