Alright I've read quite a few posts on these issues but I'm still a bit unsure of some key details. I'm currently building a house and I have ran all the cat5e for phone and data into a patch panel. Now I'm very fimilar with the data side of things but not the phone. So I have a couple questions that are pretty basic but I just want to be sure!
- From the phone line outside the house should I connect it too my patch panel or into a 110 block or what? Can I simply connect a cat5e cable from my patch panel telco port to another switch or hub for my telco line? Then run the patch cables to the correct phone ports? I'm looking for the easiest and most efficient way.
- I realize I'm going to run cat5 patch cables from my ethernet switch to all of my data ports but as for phone do I need to patch cables from a 110 block or what?
- Also I need to be able to fax on atleast one line, just thought I should throw that in there.
Thanks guys!
