Hi, new user here.
I wanted to take the opinions of experienced people, we are about to design a house to build but the electrical engineers in the country we want to build in don't regularly design the wiring with networking in mind.
Can you all give me a summary of essential things to have designed/implemented in the house wiring and things to be aware of?
The house would be a duplex one, GF and 1st floor, it will have a simple NAS either in the basement or the attic used for file storage and video streaming, an ethernet hub in each room, I also wanted to make the house IOT ready so I may need to have thin wiring running to all the ceiling lightings and such, I cannot decide on where to put a patch panel or switches, or if I should even make a special closet on each floor for the patch panel/switch, should I ask tubing in a specific way as well?
The house will be made of stone if that matters, I will probably use 1 Gbit hardware to keep costs down but may use CAT6A to future proof wiring if 10gbit hardware costs go down.
Thank you.
