ᐅ Is a telephone connection box still required?

Bicycle chains are single-strand and therefore transmit data bit by bit rather than byte by byte.

I have another question...
I’m still familiar with connecting the classic TAE socket and router,
but if you install these Cat sockets in other rooms, where do the cables go, and how do you connect them? They have to end up at the Fritzbox somehow, right? Please explain in detail and simply.

My assessment:

Ideally, you not only have a double Cat socket in every room but also next to the TAE socket (or FTTH-APL). All network cables run to a patch panel in the main distribution cabinet (MDC). This way, you can connect the TAE socket to any other network socket by patching. That means you can set up your modem (router) not only next to the TAE but in any room where a double network socket is available. The second port in the network socket is connected to one of the router’s LAN ports. In the patch panel in the MDC, this port is connected to a network switch. All other network sockets in your house are connected to this switch.

Described too complicated. Simply put: All the cables from the rooms end in a distribution box in the utility room. The cable from the telecom box also goes into this distribution box. The telecom signal is on it, which is then distributed to all the rooms. As laypersons, we don’t care how the box distributes it; it just does. After all, we don’t need to understand the control unit of our car either. -- Somewhere you now plug in your router. Modern routers can also be plugged into network outlets; the smart router from the telecom provider that I have does that. So now there is Wi-Fi, there is LAN, and you can also connect your old Panasonic to the router because it has a TAE socket. Clear now?

Okay, simply put, that’s exactly the point I was trying to make. It works quite elegantly by installing a network socket next to the telecom main connection box.

there is now LAN

To ensure the LAN connection is not limited to where the router is located, a second port is needed in the double network socket.

This means you want to install a double network outlet to serve as a mini patch panel, with one side receiving the input from the main telephone/Internet connection (Monopol-TAE) and the other side running onward to the router, in case it is located in a different room.

Other explanations here have assumed that a patch panel is also installed in the utility room (HAR), as it is the most suitable place for a LAN distribution point and because 24 or 25 ports offer more “comfort” than relying solely on the four LAN ports of the Fritz router.

No. I also assume that there is a proper patch panel in the main distribution frame (MDF). And that next to the main connection point (MDF/APL), there is a network outlet. This way, the telephone outlet (TAE socket) can be "extended" to any other room via the patch panel. This means the router can be placed in any room with a network outlet. However, there must also be a second network outlet (i.e., a double socket) available so that the LAN established by the router can be connected from the patch panel to a switch.

My point is really that this setup allows the router to be freely positioned, potentially making an additional access point or extra small switch unnecessary.
