Good morning everyone,
I have another question. In our new build, the LAN cables are being installed in protective conduits. However, there is some disagreement about the required diameter according to the relevant standards. I have read about 25mm (1 inch) conduits.
According to the electrician, a 20mm (¾ inch) conduit should be used for simplex cables up to the outlet. No pull cord or similar is planned.
This naturally raises the question for me of how a future replacement would be possible... if it is even necessary.
What size conduits would you use? Where might it make sense to install an empty conduit for future use?
Thanks everyone

Thanks for your tips. Unfortunately, with our electrician, it’s not just a few cents difference; the price is almost double. So we will have to scale back a bit.What is the electrician charging for the network work?
I don’t understand why duplex wall outlets are always considered essential...
In 95% of cases, you only need a single network connection at that spot...
The exception is the smart TV and the gaming console. For around $10, you can just place an 8-port gigabit switch inside the media cabinet and connect the sound system, etc., directly instead of having an electrician install a set of four network outlets there...
Computer: 1 network connection
Smart TV: 1 network connection
Home server: 1 network connection (which usually belongs in the network cabinet anyway...)
Access point: 1 network connection
Cameras: 1 network connection each
Laptop is 98% on Wi-Fi. If large data transfers are needed occasionally, there should be at least one network outlet available anywhere in the house...
Or am I missing something important?!

There are some people who have an aversion to additional devices whose purpose is not immediately obvious or whose use in everyday life is not very clear due to unnecessary manual operation. Switches probably fall into that category for this type of person.
For me, double network outlets per living space are standard, but otherwise, I would have done it exactly the way you did.

If I want to have everything at the TV in the living room connected to separate outlets, I CURRENTLY need at least 3 LAN ports. So should I have a duplex outlet and a single outlet installed just for that? In the end, that would actually be 2 duplex outlets if you ask the people here.
I have 6 LAN outlets in the living room. ALL SEPARATE!
That way I’m flexible if I want to rearrange the living/dining room.
Then I just plug in my switch with 3 watts power consumption, so what’s the problem?

Now I have 20 single outlets in all the key locations (or places that might become important...) and 2 access points (one on each floor)...
