Hey guys,

I’ve recently came Into completing a house and all the internet lines in the house are cat5e and most walls and ceiling are finished. How would you go about connecting them all to be able to have a wired connection in each room? Each room has 3 of the lines into each receptacle box with a coax as well. Thanks for any help. Open to anything.

    Yeah, a couple 8-port RJ45 data modules like suggested by TiggerLAS should get the cables terminated in the cabinet, and RJ45/coax keystone jacks for the in-room outlets. All paint-by-numbers easy following the color legends on the modules/jacks.

    See the following for additional tips, parts and tools:

    Linked comment also discusses what to do after you have everything wired-up to activate networking, and also what to add should you want to cover backward compatibility for phone/POTS connectivity.
