I am currently building a house and preparing the electrical installation.
My questions:
1. When installing network outlets, are standard deep flush-mount boxes sufficient? And is it acceptable to route the network cable through the middle cable entry points rather than the lowest ones (see file)?
2. Throughout my house, M25 conduit is used for wiring. If I have five cable entry points in a flush-mount box, can I still use deep flush-mount boxes, or should I rather use device connection boxes such as the Kaiser model with item number 1069-02?
Thank you again

If I have 5 cable entries going into a flush-mounted box,I would reconsider this approach. Ideally, you shouldn’t have 5 cables terminating in a single box anywhere...

And is it enough to insert the network cable not into the lowest cable entry but into one of the middle entries (see file)?Always use the rear-most entry. Especially if you plan to install dual LAN. The inserts themselves also have a significant depth. Plus, network cables are quite stiff.

Well, I have already installed the conduits in the concrete ceiling.
There are recessed lights in the ceiling.
My power supply goes to my switch, and from there it branches out in a star pattern, meaning one lamp, one power feed, and then two to switching devices (intermediate switching setup).G

Always at the very back. Especially if you want to install dual LAN connections. The modules themselves also always have a considerable depth and length. And network cables are stiffWell, I have already installed the conduits in the concrete ceiling. The ceiling contains spotlights. My power supply goes to my switch, and from there it branches out in a star configuration, meaning one lamp, one power supply line, and then two switching elements (intermediate switch wiring).

i.e. 1 lamp, 1 supply line, and then 2 switching elements (intermediate switching)But there are only 4, right? Also, you can easily combine a switch with a socket outlet underneath, and then you already have 2 flush-mounted boxes in the same space.
