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

A switch in a new build just because you were too cheap to install a duplex outlet? Are you serious?The problem is that it’s actually quite rare for a duplex outlet to be more advantageous than a single outlet. We also have duplex outlets everywhere since the additional cost was minimal. But currently, they don’t really benefit me anywhere: 50% of the outlets are still unused. For 45% of the outlets, I only need one connection (even looking ahead). And in two locations where one outlet is not enough, I currently need 3 (living room) and 5 (home office) connections. So at both locations, a small 5- or 8-port switch is installed.

They require the same installation space, and to save just a few cents on cable and outlet materials, I would not want to install multiple single outlets. We use double outlet boxes almost everywhere. Only the access points get a single cable.
Current plan:
2x home offices (PC, printer)
2x living rooms (IP phone, smart TV)
2x children's rooms (PC, TV)
1x hallway on the ground floor (access point)
1x hallway on the upper floor (access point)
In addition, empty conduits for coaxial cables will be installed in the living rooms and children's rooms. The multiswitch is located in the wall cabinet near the switch. This allows for future network upgrades or replacing satellite TV with IPTV if needed.
