I have run Cat5e and RG6 to all rooms in my new home (minimum 2 home runs of each to each room, some have 4) I would like to terminate the Cat5 cables in the most cost effective way that would also have the most flexibility. I have a total of 40 Cat5e home runs for a 4 bedroom, 3200 sf house, for telephone, networking, automation, and security.
connections on the back and RJ45 plugs on the front would allow the most flexibility, but also be more expensive. Is there any advantage to using 110 blocks? Wouldn't I still have to have the patch panels to connect everything? My thinking is that with the patch panels, I could use phone plugs as ethernet, and vice versa. However, with the amount of cable I have run, not sure it is necessary to do this.
Please share your thoughts. Thanks.
