Hey,
if I want to get network sockets, is there anything special I should pay attention to?
On the large marketplace with 4 letters, the price per piece starts at a few euros.
What is the difference between a 6€ socket, a 15€ socket, or something in between? I also saw that there are sockets where you punch down the cable directly in the module, and others where you connect the cable to a keystone insert, which is then slid into the module...
Thanks!

Unfortunately, I can’t say whether the frames will fit; it’s best to check this on the website of the manufacturer of your switch system (e.g., Gira).
However, I can only recommend working with keystone jacks and avoiding the cheapest materials here as well, since the installation effort is significantly lower with slightly more expensive systems.
As an example, Telegärtner can be mentioned.
Once you have chosen a system, you then select the appropriate covers from the manufacturer of your switch system.

If you are a trained electrician, then maybe.
As a layperson, it’s considerably more difficult, but you don’t need any special tools to connect the cable.
Thanks to the color-coded wiring, the chances are high that you will connect the correct wires together.
Some wiring guides show the wiring according to two standards, 568A and 568B.
You should choose one standard for the entire house, but it is essential to be consistent between two points. 568A is the standard in Europe.

The frames are the same. Only the insert needs to fit. I also recommend keystone connectors if you’re doing the work yourself. Of course, I didn’t do that and wired 28 pieces in our house. About a quarter were fine, but with the rest, I had to try at least once more before the cable ran out in some cases. Then I had to pull new cable again. I think I aged five years that weekend and was closer to tears than ever before.
The keystones in the distribution board all worked perfectly on the first try.
