I work with a voluntary organisation who are wishing to put in a new combined cat 5e network with telephone conections via the network. the intention is to have up to 45 wall sockets for computers, printers and telephones leading back to a patch panel. They are going to get a quote from a professional installer but as funds are limited this may be beyond their financial means. I am reasonably competant in wiring telephones but have no experience of a combined network and am prepared to donate my time to do the job. My question is, is there anywhere on line where I can obtain a wiring diagram to show me how to run network cabling. I have seen several colour diagrams which give info on how to connect the 4 pair cable to the back of the outlet socket. The info I need to make sense of what I have managed to find is, can I connect the sockets together as a daisy chain or is it a direct conection from each outlet back to the panel with a complete 4 pair cable to each outlet socket even if I am using a 4 gang would that require four cables back to the panel many thanks Peter ( I have posted this request on another news group)
