You can also just get a patch panel like this, and buy some of those keystone jacks I mentioned that don't require crimping. Keeps everything a bit tidier than loose cables all over.

True enough...would have done that at my son's but they terminated all over the place in the basement. Not sure who did the wiring there (SaskTel?) but it was a complete gong show. Sometime I'll get back over there and just rewire the joint properly.

If the wires all terminate close enough then sure, use a patch panel and non-crimp keystones. Super easy. But sooner or later he's still gonna have to terminate a cable. :-)

BTW I love the non-crimp keystones. Quite useful. (Although I prefer the punch-down tool.)

Funny/odd story: after building cables for a zillion years, I can now no longer do CAT6 ones...too much arthritis and my hands can't hold 'em properly anymore. Blech.
