Hello everyone,
since we want to install the network cables in our house ourselves, we are now looking for a suitable online store to order the necessary materials, such as network cables, server racks, patch panels, etc. Additionally, we plan to handle some electrical installations, for which we need switches, sockets (outlets), wiring, and so on. Perhaps you have a secret tip for a reliable and affordable supplier, including online stores that offer B2B services.

Best regards

I can offer you Voltus. I’m not exactly sure about the pricing, but the people there are very reliable. They are always available if you have any questions. The manager is also active in forums and often provides helpful support there.

I have also had good experiences with Voltus (items for home automation).
For network-related equipment (cabinets, etc.), it’s better to check specialized shops like, for example, It-Budget.
I’m not sure what level you want to approach this at, so making recommendations is difficult. Patch panels with keystone modules from companies like Metz Connect, cabinets from Rittal, Stengel, etc. are options.
For the infrastructure, Unifi is a good tip in the prosumer segment. However, you should have “some” basic knowledge.

The IT budget is great; I visit there regularly in person. If it’s nearby, you can see a lot of things and get good advice! For everything else, if you want to do it yourself, I would also recommend Voltus. Even electrical wholesalers usually can’t beat their prices. SCE will also handle our distribution panel.

With UniFi, you need not only expertise but also a fairly high tolerance for frustration, or you should just avoid pressing the update button. The management software often has serious bugs, and Ubiquiti seems to test firmware primarily on end users. You have to be prepared for that. Unfortunately, there is currently little competition on the market for Wi-Fi products offering similar performance at these prices.
