Patch panel connection specific

Hello,

I have acquired a house that is equipped with a patch panel and would like to install my SFR Box. Therefore, I have 2 questions:

- Where is the internet connection?

- How do I distribute the internet from my box to the Ethernet sockets in the different rooms?


Regarding the internet connection, I think it is the small box with the orange output that fits perfectly into the RJ45 socket that I can connect to my box.

Then, to distribute the internet between my box and the 7 Ethernet cables, I had no idea, but after searching a bit, I thought that I needed a switch. Then I connect each of the 7 ports on this switch to which I connect a cable that powers it with my box. But I might be on the wrong track...

Thank you for your help with these 2 questions.

Have a good end of the weekend.

Below is the photo of the patch panel:

Hello,

If you have an ADSL subscription, the telephone line must arrive at the DTI, the white box under the metal box. The box connects with the cable coming out of the DTI (there is usually an RJ11 port at the input of the box for the telephone/ADSL line). Then, we connect the Ethernet outputs of the box to the patch panels. Since there are usually only 4 ports on the box, we connect a switch to the box that will multiply the Ethernet ports and allow us to supply the 7 patch panel ports.

Hello,

it's indeed a bit bare for a patch panel, especially since it looks like a 19-inch rack, you really need to put a rack-mount switch if you want to distribute your 7 ports.

For now, you only have an ADSL connection, but soon, you will certainly have a fiber connection.

The idea is to get to this:

With the plush switch.

Good evening and a big THANK YOU to both of you.

Your explanations and especially the diagram, TOP!

I'm off to buy a switch and a dozen ethernet cables at Fnac tomorrow :)

Good night.

If you plan to install Wi-Fi access points in the house, it might be wise to choose a POE switch.
This type of switch allows you to power the Wi-Fi access points directly through the network cable, without needing to plug in a power adapter. It’s cleaner.
Of course, the Wi-Fi access point also needs to be POE compatible.
