ᐅ Which flush-mounted boxes are used for network cables and for cables with five entries?

Hello,

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

In a crossover switch circuit with a total of 3 switches, only 2 cables come out of each flush-mounted box. Either the power supply/next switch, or the crossover switch in/out, or the crossover switch/lamp.

The switches are wired in series, not in a star configuration.

But there are only 4, right? Also, you can easily combine a switch with an outlet below it, so you effectively have two flush-mounted boxes in the same space.

Sometimes one or two more are added for roller shutters.

But then they are not all in the same flush-mounted box.

I used these for CAT7 duplex:

Use the standard deep electrical boxes everywhere, as you described in your first post. That is usually sufficient.

I installed my Cat7 duplex cable in standard 60mm (2.4 inch) electrical boxes, which is no problem at all with keystone jacks. Terminating the cable is also extremely easy....
