So I am trying to plan this out and thinking of savings some cash in the new build and doing the media closet in the basement myself.. I was wondering what most of you guys have done as far as keeping your networking cable clean.. I have done the breakdown for all the runs that will be entering the media closet. As you can see below it is a pretty extensive setup.. At least it is for me.. The Unity setup's wiring will be in their own enclosures, however I will need to connect roughly 48 cat6 wires to a network switch.. What would be the cleanest way to connect all the wires? I would prefer to do in wall enclosures, but not sure if doing a rack mount for the ethernet is better.. Any opinions?
Data/Telephone/Cable: Cat6 Cabling needed for the Legrand Unity System = 47 Cat6 Home runs
Cat6 Cabling needed for all Data ports in the house = 38 Cat 6 home runs
RG6 quad shield cabling needed for house = 7 RG6 quad shield cable home runs
Telephone cabling needed for house = 7 phone cable home runs
Audio speaker cabling needed for house = 17 x 16/4 cable home runs and 34 x 16/2 runs from keypad to speakers
Cat6 cabling for IP Camera System = 16 Cat6 home run cables
Alarm System:
Window Sensors = 27 Window Sensors
Door Sensors = 7 Door Sensors (This includes the garage doors)
Smoke Alarms = 6 Smoke Detectors
CO Alarms = 3 Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Motion Sensors = 5 Motion Sensors
Flood Detector = 2 Sensors
Keypads = 2 Keypads
Siren = 2 Sirens (1 indoor and 1 outdoor)
