I can only speak for Jerusalem, Kashayoff on King George has wires and sockets. Home Center often has the sockets at a slightly higher price. > b. pressing equipment None needed for the sockets. They can be installed using a "Krone" or compatible tool (avoid the AT&T compatibles from the U.S.) but they include a cover which does the same thing. Patch panels require a tool. For a one time job, I can lend you the tool. > b. sockets and patch panel for the communication room Don't know. > c. switch ( this is easy to come by, but vendor/model > recommendation will be appreciated ) I prefer Dynamode and EDIMax. Dynamode is an Israeli company that OEM's stuff but offers local support. EDIMax is a Tiwanese company with a local distributor with good support. Avoid anything sold in the U.S. and imported with a 120 volt power supply. > 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? Orange wire to Orange slot on the back of the connector. Orange/White to Orange/White and so on. If you wire them properly, which I don't remember offhand, you can use two pairs instead of 4 per socket. >From the sockets to the equipment use commercial cables with molded plugs. They are cheap and more reliable than hand made ones. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
