ᐅ Installation of Network Outlets

Created on: 19 Oct 2015 13:11

Hello everyone,

I am currently looking at a townhouse (end unit) that I would like to buy.

Unfortunately, the house does not have network outlets installed. I would like to add them later. I am not familiar with this topic.

The house was built in 2002, and in my opinion, it would not make sense to completely rewire the electrical system.

Is there another way to install the network outlets? For example, using cable trunking / cable ducts? Has anyone here done something like this before? If so, does anyone possibly have pictures?

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards

Hmm ok, but that looks terrible, doesn’t it? What if I drill through the ceiling?

Of course, you drill where, for example, a cable duct at the bottom is blocking the hole. At the top, you are renewing the floor and going into the wall.

Ah, I see. You mean I should drill through at the bottom and use a cable conduit. And then, when I redo the floors upstairs, run the cable along the wall?

Exactly. Either cut a slot in the screed (which will then be covered by the floor) or in the wall behind the baseboard (skirting board).

Ok, thanks for the idea 🙂. I can also run the cable along the side above a small cable duct. Are there any rebates or similar for doors?

If anyone has installed something like this before, please share 🙂

Through doors with the cable??
For that, there’s a drill—you go through the wall. The hole is covered on both sides by the cable duct, or if done cleverly, by the baseboard (skirting board).
