Not made much progress on the summer house as we keep uncovering more jobs to do in the main house and getting that ready to move in takes priority for now.
have all the required kit to run the ethernet in the trench waiting to go but I need to decide on my final plan on where I want it to come into the summer house and how I am running it from the back wall of the house to under the stairs.
have got 2 larger wiska boxes for the external walls at each end that will accept the 25mm glands for the 2 runs of pvc coated steel flexible conduit i'll be running the ethernet through, outdoor wire is 12mm swa cat6a (yes i'm being that anal about protection, I really dont want to have to do this again anytime soon). once the cable enters the wall on either side of the run it'll be spliced with inline connectors to indoor cat6a cable inside some kind of accessible junction box on the internal side of the wall. inside the house it will run behind the skirting board through the extension which is solid floor, then drop under the floorboards through the dining room and into the stairs cupboard where I'll terminate both runs in a faceplate before connecting to my switch.
should hopefully mean if there's any point of failure I can fix a small part of the run and don't have to re-do the whole thing.
indoors I have a 8 port 10gb switch and will be running cat8 to faceplates in most rooms before we have carpets fitted so I can forget about redoing it for a long long time and fingers crossed the fibre they just installed in our street will be available by jan 24. I'm going to run a conduit under the floor from under the stairs to a junction box on the front of the house when i'm rerouting our current phone line in next couple of weeks so fingers crossed they can just run it to there and pop it straight through to where I need it when it comes time to install with no messing up of the decor.
