Network Cabling in New development

DubLad69 · 2020-12-31 00:58:28

I'm looking at purchasing a new build. The house has very high specification throughout and I has just assumed that the house had network cabling, and the only real question was if it was Cat5 or cat6. However, I've discovered that there is none at all. Is this common in other developments?

Anecdotal but our development has CAT5e runs in the house, all bundled back to a utility room under the stairs. I had virgin install the router there and terminated the cables myself to plug in. There's one faceplate port in the kitchen, sitting room, and master bedroom.

I had someone come out to extend the run from the master bed (who realistically needs it in there) and establish a new port in a spare bed/office room for myself (laptop, console, Plex server). I use the sitting room for another console and Nvidia shield.

There is absolutely value in having the ports, but the problem is developers (well, ours anyway) just put them anywhere that is handy, which is rarely where you need them. I have a 6 metre cable running from the sitting room port to a switch under the TV.
