| On the premises many possible connections need to be supported. When a new building is constructed, the network is planned with the building. The network should be planned extendable so new requirements can be installed without drilling new holes. The network should be separated into different terriers that support each other and avoid high install costs. | On the premises many possible connections need to be supported.

| The wired network is done using ethernet cables that have to be 'hidden' in the walls and need to be accessible on sockets. The usual configuration is that two plugs are in one sockets are available on one wall exit. Each room should have at least one socket and large rooms need more than one socket. Rooms that are planned to have more devices (eg Hackcenter) will even need more sockets. This avoids that the ethernet cables will span through the room. The ethernet wires have the sockets on one side in the room and need to be connected to a patchpanel in a central location. The patchpanel is a passive hardware that allows connecting a switch with short patch-cables. | The wired network is done using ethernet cables that have to be 'hidden' in the walls and need to be accessible on sockets.

| The investment for a reliable network infrastructure therefore is multiple sockets (cat5e or better shielded) and alot of ethernet wire (cat5e at least, get cat7 if possible). The wires have to be organized as 'star' from the patchpanel. More about this is researchable with keywords from the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_cabling|Structured Cabling]] wikipedia article. | The investment for a reliable network infrastructure therefore is multiple sockets (cat5e or better shielded) and a lot of ethernet wire (cat5e at least, get cat7 if possible).
