ᐅ UTP Cable – What Is It and Where to Install It?

Ah, things are becoming clearer. Thanks, Malz. That makes more sense to me now. So, can I connect an access point for the router to the UTP cable? Is that its purpose?

for example

The component in question is the following:

You should install this type of outlet wherever you plan to have a network-enabled device with a wired connection, or a phone, fax, router, etc.

Here is a link to a very recent thread. The first post is directly relevant for you:

You don’t need a network socket in every room and every corner of a wall, but I would recommend doing basic wiring. For example:
- everywhere a TV is or might be placed
- home office
- where the access point will be located

Do you perhaps know someone in your circle of friends or acquaintances who has some knowledge of the subject and can guide you a bit?

By default, a UTP connection is included. The electrician has planned this for the living room. What is this connection used for?

This simply refers to a telephone cable: Unshielded Twisted Pair. “Pair” means a pair of wires, and even a telephone cable for a single residential unit usually contains two pairs. “Twisted” means that each pair is twisted together—in simple terms, like a braid. This reduces crosstalk: the electrical signals emit electromagnetic interference onto neighboring wires, but because of the twisting, these effects cancel each other out within the same pair. “Unshielded” means that the pair itself has no shielding like foil or braid.

This cable is suitable for telephony and can also be used for networking, but only somewhat adequate for Gigabit LAN. At the end of this cable, the electrician will typically install a telephone socket, marking the endpoint of the external telephone line. Essentially, the plan indicates that a telephone socket should be installed here, not a power outlet. Telephone sockets are connected to telephone cables—not power wiring.

UTP is the most basic standard—it is installed mainly to ensure there is at least one wired connection available for future tenants or owners, even if you personally plan to rely on wireless internet. That said, I’m not sure if you mean the connection should come into your apartment entirely wireless (via satellite or mobile network), or just inside the apartment be wireless (Wi-Fi), but still wired via copper cable to the apartment. Personally, I would suggest installing an empty conduit alongside it or upgrading to network cable.
