    Hello
    As when doing a renovation, before I put new plaster or boards, I have the opportunity to do the entire electrics all over again.
    I just thought it would be nice to create a multimedia installation by the way.
    Let's say that the costs are not entirely a problem, so I don't mind to go crazy a bit and install ethernet in category 7a
    At the moment, it is not expected that they will stretch optical fibers to our floors, so I think twisted pair will be enough.

    My main problem is that I can't see wall sockets for Cat 7a S / FTP cables anywhere
    I would need something that looks something like this:

    For category 7a, however, I can only find modules

    I do not really know if there are any frames for it, similar to the above ones, so that it fits the other sockets visually.
    Theoretically, I could connect to a category 6 socket, but why make a wide throat as at the end of the road and it will be reduced anyway.
    Maybe you know what module would fall into the frame of a brand from which I could then acquire stylistically sensible contacts

    At home, cat5e (1gbs) "unshielded" cables, reputable and proven companies, Madex and stuff are enough.

    Do you have any reasons why you think you must have a "shielded" cable?

    So you think that if they jump with technology in the next 5 years, they will immediately jump on optical fibers in sockets.
    I'm also a bit afraid of that
    The only thing that inhibits my fears is the fact that they have technology 20 years ahead.
    Only for commercial reasons, if the competition does not lean out, they introduce a step further without leaps.
    Let's say that if I do in cat 7a, theoretically at least at home it will be adapted to 10gbs
    I will probably have a router in this class anyway.
    If only technologically it will be feasible, which is harmful for me to be a little ahead of today's standards.
    Lest it turns out that in 5 years I will be opening the walls
    And it's not about these few pennies more

    And practically the socket for PLN 16 gross is also ok

    e.g.
    https://www.kabeltechnika.pl/produkt/4147/gar...-solarix-cat5e-utp-1-x-rj45-na-tynk-bial.html

    One 10gbs network card costs about PLN 450. but it doesn't stop there: everything else (RAM disk, router etc). So if you have tens of thousands of redundant ones, you can make a computing center at home with a server room in each room.
    And seriously: I also have a cat7 cable in the walls, and surface sockets for 5 zlotys. With the Internet, 100,000 mbit is about 11MB per second. It is still a headache in many Western countries. We have at least 20 years on cat7. There will be cat6 in 10-15 years, this outlet will change. Hardly any standard device can handle more than 1gbits on the internal network, so cat5e sockets are more than adequate.

    Before 10 Gb becomes popular and goes to home solutions at a price for a Pole, it will be modestly counting from 10-15 years.
    But taking into account that we do not produce this equipment here on site, it will probably go down 20 years at such prices.

    Do not just waste money on only good quality cables, it is also worth putting 2 wires everywhere - one correct, the other in the case of "W".
    Madex, Bitner - these cable manufacturers can be recommended blindly.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the installation of wall sockets for Cat 7a S/FTP cables during a home renovation aimed at creating a multimedia setup. The user expresses concerns about the availability of suitable wall sockets, noting that they have only found modules and not complete sockets that match their aesthetic requirements. Responses highlight that while Cat 5e and Cat 6 cables are sufficient for current needs, Cat 7a is a forward-looking choice for potential 10 Gbps networking. Recommendations include using reputable brands like Madex and Bitner for cabling, and considering the practicality of future-proofing installations despite the current market's limitations on high-speed home networking equipment.
