Hi,
I'm just finishing major "shiputz" at my home and now it is time to
run home network wiring.
>From topology point of view, one of the rooms is designated as
"server/communication room". In the communication room there will be
cable connection to the Internet with Unix router/nat server. All
other bedrooms will have Ethernet sockets and wires will run to the
patch panel at the communication room.
[PC1] ------------|
|
[PC2] ------------|-- [patch-panel] -- [switch] -- [UNIX router] -- (INTERNET)
|
[PC3] ------------|
At this stage I have got tubes in walls connecting all relevant points.
Here are my questions:
1. Where do I buy communication gear:
a. a lot of "unpressed" raw Ethernet cable
b. pressing equipment
b. sockets and patch panel for the communication room
c. switch ( this is easy to come by, but vendor/model
recommendation will be appreciated )
2. How should I press the cables between sockets in the bedrooms and
the patch panel in the communication room. Straight or cross? Could
you describe exact order of the wires?
Thank you for your help,
Alexander Indenbaum
