Hello everyone.
For our new build (single-family house), I am planning a network cabinet. A total of 13 Cat7 cables will terminate in the utility room.
I would like to store the router, switch, patch panel, and a power strip inside the cabinet.
The provider will supply a FritzBox 7590 AX. In my shopping cart, I currently have a 10" switch, 10" patch panel, and 10" power strip. What wall-mounted cabinet would you recommend? I am currently considering a 10" cabinet with 6U of rack space.
We will also have outdoor cameras and a doorbell with PoE. I would prefer to store the data centrally instead of on the camera’s SD card. What kind of system would you suggest for this? The hardware should ideally also fit inside the cabinet.
Best regards

I have already successfully used these for exactly this kind of application (accidentally drilled into a cable): Metz Connect cable connectors Class FA CAT 7a 130863-02-E. They require little space but are quite expensive. Note: Must be tightened well (just past the marking) to ensure proper contact. I have now ordered a CAT 7 LAN cable connector with LSA connection and tool-free installation from HB Digital.
You can do anything. Keep in mind that CAT7 installation cable is usually stiffer and thicker, and standard connectors often don’t fit properly. Slimmer patch cables are easier to handle inside the network cabinet. However, every (penny pincher) will have to figure that out and judge for themselves 😎
If it’s an installation cable, better leave it be. The term "installation" in the cable name is there for a reason.
If it’s a patch cable, you can put crimp connectors on it, but personally, I would always buy ready-made cables. I wouldn’t want to bother with that kind of fiddling.
