Structured networking
Home networks and cabinets
One tidy cabinet, everything patched and labelled, and a network that doesn't need restarting.
Once you have cameras, access points, a TV, a games console and a home office on the same connection, a plug-in router and a pile of adaptors stops coping.
We build the network around the house properly: a small cabinet, a switch with power over Ethernet, patched and labelled so anyone can work out what's what in five years' time.
