It's not too terribly difficult, honestly. I enjoy it. There's a bunch of ways, but here's some tips that I have figured out.

  • Label your cable ends (either use a label maker or just get one of these booklets).
  • Two people make it go more than twice as fast. Buy pizza for a friend.
  • Leave the cable box at the source, pull cable to the destination.
  • Get a set of fish sticks for sending wire down/up walls. Buy a couple of rolls of electrical tape, too, for taping wire to the fish sticks.
  • Measure to the same height as the electrical outlets in the wall for a clean look. Get the same color faceplates and keystone jacks as the electrical system already has.
  • Make sure you use a stud finder with AC electrical alerting before you cut.
  • When you are ready to cut a hole in the wall, take a wall box eliminator, flip it backwards, and trace the inside with pencil. Then cut with a utility knife. I find that a dremel saves time but creates a LOT of dust, and really isn't that much easier.
  • Pull the cable (or fish stick) through until you've got a good 2-3 feet sticking out of the wall. If you think you're EVER going to need more than one jack in this room, run it now (it is easier to buy two boxes of cable than one, and run two cables simultaneously).
  • Put the wall box eliminator in the wall, and fold the tines back / screw the holders in (they all basically have some mechanism of "grabbing" the wall, to give you a hole in the wall with the two faceplate screw holes like an electrical wall box has, but without the box - which is safe because it's low voltage (don't do this for real electrical work!!!))
  • Cut off the first 6 inches or so of the cable with your dikes, because it might have been fucked up being taped to a fish stick and rammed through the wall, etc.
  • Strip off the outer jacket of another 4-5 inches using your cyclops stripping tool.
  • Terminate into the rj45 keystone jack using a punchdown tool.
  • Even though, technically, as long as the jacks have the same wiring pattern on both ends, in America, we use EIA/TIA 568-B as our wiring standard. This will be displayed on the side of your RJ45 jack.
  • In your wiring closet, leave a loop of 6 feet or so (for future upgrades/troubleshooting), and then terminate all the cable ends into a labeled patch panel.
  • Pop your RJ45 jack into the keystone hole in the faceplate. (tab down, you don't want dust to settle into the wire contacts), and screw in your faceplate. Label it, if you can do so and it looks nice ("Living Room 1", etc) so it corresponds to the patch panel in the basement/closet/etc.

    Congrats, you've run a cable! It's female at both ends, so you can just use a patch cable to run from the wall to your PC, and from the patch panel to your switch, to your modem/router, etc. This wire is now a part of the infrastructure of your house - you won't have to cut anything out when you leave, you just unplug the wires and leave the infrastructure for the next person.

    Hope this helps.

There is absolutely an easy fix. Two of these, mounted parallel to each other (like this = ) above the switch. Then 1-ft patch cables to the switch.

I'd also recommend turning the switch around so the patch cables are facing the doorway and not jammed into the little nook between the switch and the phone equipment. It has a right angle power cord so you could even move it in more towards the phone system.

Most likely the previous owner was trying to do something with phone lines, but he should have just used the phone distribution device already in the box.
Your plan will work just fine, but I would recommend that you terminate the cables onto a patch panel (such as this one http://www.amazon.com/Intellinet-12-Port-Wall-mount-Patch-560269/dp/B000BSJJ1M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396316125&sr=8-1&keywords=patch+panel ). Using a patch panel would be a better long term solution, the wear and tear will be on the short patch cords you use to connect to the switch, instead of on the in-wall cables.

Each connection, I presume it's wired up as Ethernet drops, should go to a central location where they terminate into a patch panel of some sort. You can use patch cables (short Ethernet cables) to connect the proper location on the patch panel to a switch. The switch is then connected to one LAN port on your router. Some folks would only need the router, if they have enough LAN ports on that, but f you have all your rooms wired up I presume that's more than 4.

A patch panel looks something like this, though there are some that look a little different. You should find it near your breaker box, possibly behind a metal panel that can be pulled off with a few screws.

using cat5 for phone is just wasteful. a 1 pair or 2 pair lv wire would cost significantly less in construction. That phone install looks like it was done by a lazy wiring contractor who did not even want to terminate anything properly. Contact the landlord before doing it, and it might serve you better in the long run to run all those cables in the closet to a patch panel instead of just adding ends to them, that way you don't have to move them as much, and don't risk ripping the ends off.

I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean but this is what I am using in my Leviton:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BSJJ1M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I just screw it through the sheet metal in the back of the panel. I have a 1/2" plywood that I cut out behind the panel that I can put screws into through the Leviton panel. This way I don't have to use the expensive Leviton accessories.

I now see that you want it to be grounded/shielded. Not sure if you can find something similar that works.

Follow T568B on both ends.

Use a small 12-port patch panel in the basement. Something like this:

I've used this one a number of times and have been extremely happy with it. BUT, it's only Cat5e and only 12 ports.

Maybe try something like this it's still only 12 port but if you want wall mount you could put two side by side?
