Home Network Setup: Using One Collective Socket for Four Computers - Suggestions?

How do I set up one central network socket to feed four computers and a telephone line in a house renovation?

Yes — run the cables to one central point, terminate them there, and then connect the router to the room sockets; the simplest solution is a small 8-port patch panel or a box-type modular panel, not a special 4+1 “collective socket” [#11923493][#11923810] You need 5 connections in total, and it makes no difference whether they are RJ45 or RJ11; RJ45 can also be used for RJ11 because only the middle 2 pairs are needed [#11923810][#11923548] In the rooms, use UTP twisted pair Cat.5e or higher; Cat.5e is already gigabit for home use, and Cat.6 is only a future-proof option [#11923493][#11925656][#11927367] If you use FTP/STP shielded cable, then choose shielded sockets too; otherwise shielded sockets are not necessary [#11927367] If you want to avoid a patch panel, you can also buy individual single-module sockets and assemble them into a panel-like block [#11923810][#11923790]

    Hello, I have a diagram of the rooms as in the drawing and I wanted to make a network as shown in the drawing. Is it possible or is it necessary otherwise. I wanted to make one collective socket where the telephone signal would enter and it would be connected to 4 computers with an ethernet cable. Advise something and suggest some inexpensive internet sockets (I'm most interested in the collective one, is it such.

    Hello, the internet is through which operator? ADSL DSL or what is it?
    Besides, the collective socket, did you mean the router?
    Sure you can drag Ethernet through the rooms.

    mmam internet from netia and the router should be separate from the collective socket and the cables from this socket, as shown in the picture. My point is that the cables will be embedded in the hay and in order not to move them, I want to end them with sockets and further from the sockets, cables to the router and other equipment. and that's what I want to do with the main socket and the cables from it to the router and to the sockets in the rooms.

    and wi-fi will not work for you? Now routers are very strong and have a long range and it will save you drilling holes and dragging meters of cable. You can still buy adapters for the electricity network, although I would hesitate with Polish voltage jumps up to + - 50V on the network ^^

    well the rooms are being renovated and I wanted the cables. I have two stationers, so wifi doesn't want to.

    you are placing UTP twisted pair cat. 5e or higher. In the place where all the cables come together, you install the patchpanel, earning 8p8c (rj45) sockets and then connect the cable from the internet provider to the router's WAN port and connect the patchpanel sockets with patchcords to the router's LAN ports.

    There are patch panels in a box-type housing. better 8 ports patchpanel if needed. rj45 can be used on rj11 earning only the middle 2 pairs.

    Two cans.
    Side by side RJ45 quad socket and double socket. In the double one, we replace one module with RJ11.
    Two RJ45 triple sockets next to each other. We replace one module with RJ11.
    etc. etc.

    So you need 5 sockets, and whether you earn them as RJ45 or as RJ11 makes no difference,

    Unfortunately, you have to choose an 8-port panel for this purpose.

    What is the amount and requirements you set, the easiest way would be to lead the cables to a cabinet, and plug them into the router without unnecessary costs.

    Either way, you either buy single socket modules and put them together in what looks like a patch panel, or you buy an 8 socket module.

    Well, unless you convince someone, or you buy an old router yourself and solder these 4 LAN + 1 ADSL sockets.

    In addition, if you ever decide to use neostrada with a phone and Livebox, you will miss one RJ11 connection - the entire cable.

    I am only interested in the cost of this solution, because 2 good Wifi cards for the stationer will come out cheaper than the entire IT infrastructure you have planned.

    PS ETHERNET cable and not enthernet.
    in the picture you have a rauter - but in the following statements you already write correctly router.

    When you arrange the twisted pair, think ahead and arrange Cat.7, it comes out a bit more expensive, but already gigabit twisted pair.

    Corner. 5e is already gigabit.

    and always has been. Anyway, at "home" distances, 1000BASE-T works without any problems even in the old cat.5. Of course, for the future, it is worth installing a Category 6 twisted pair because it is not much more expensive. Category 7 home is a fad, it may indicate some mental disabilities and the desire to compensate them in other areas. It is similar with some audiophiles with silver plated cables.

    I still have a question what sockets to put in the rooms because I decided that I will not do any patch panels, but immediately connect the cables to the router.
    I would like if the sockets are to be screened or not, because they are different and is there a difference between category 6 and 5e sockets?

    Shielded cable is used when FTP or STP shielded cable is used. As for the sockets, the difference is not noticeable in such applications, cat 5e from 6 differs in frequency: 5e- to 100MHz and 6 to 250 MHz. The throughput will be limited anyway by the router and its ports, often even if they are 1 Gb / s ports, reaching the maximum is not very realistic.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around setting up a home network using a single collective socket to connect four computers via Ethernet. The user seeks advice on whether this setup is feasible and requests recommendations for inexpensive internet sockets. Responses highlight the importance of using a router separate from the collective socket and suggest using UTP twisted pair cables (Cat. 5e or higher) for reliable connections. Various solutions are proposed, including the use of patch panels and RJ45 sockets, with considerations for future-proofing the installation by opting for higher category cables. The user expresses a preference for direct connections to the router without patch panels and inquires about the differences between shielded and unshielded sockets, as well as between Cat. 5e and Cat. 6 sockets.
