Hello,
I have RJ45 sockets in the walls of my apartment. The issue is that my fiber box is placed quite far from my electrical meter; the technician has already been here and installed the box there. So I plan to invest in a switch to connect my box to my meter.
The problem is that I don't know anything about electrical wiring, and I would like to know if my installation would allow me to have a minimum speed of 1 gb/s.
I am attaching a photo of the electrical installation and await your feedback to order my switch!
Thank you in advance for your responses!

Hello,
Is there a wall socket next to the Box? If so, this would allow for the network to be distributed to the communication panel, and with a switch connected to the patch panel (one of the 4 at the top right), we could distribute Ethernet to the other 3 sockets from this wall socket.
In the panel, the 4 small gray wires need to be removed and no longer used, as they are only compatible with phone/ADSL.
If the tests are not conclusive, we will need to dismantle some sockets to check the wiring. It is often seen that installations are wired only for phone/ADSL, with only 2 wires out of the 8 in the cable connected to the socket.

Hi,
As far as I can tell, I don’t see anything that could prevent you from getting your Gbit/s everywhere via a switch, unless, as JP mentioned, you unfortunately ended up with an electrician who only wired one pair out of the four, but that should normally be fixable.

and ... There you go, there you have it!

Thank you very much for the quick response!!!
That's right, right next to my box, there is an RJ45 socket. (Distributing the network to the meter using this socket would be doable for a beginner?)
To be honest, for now, I mainly need just one working RJ45.
Regarding the small gray wires, are these the ones?
Or the cables connected below?
Thanks again!

The DTI is useless; it’s for telephone wiring, not Ethernet, like the little gray cord.
Your wall sockets are, as I mentioned, wired only for telephone. In the second photo, you can see the other unconnected wires; it’s probably the same for the patch panels.
You need to rewire the sockets. You must then use wiring for the sockets (patch panel and wall) following color/number correspondence.
If you only need one socket wired, no need for a switch; in the communication box you can bridge with an Ethernet cord between the patch panel socket coming from the box and the one going to your room.
