I'm in the process of running ethernet cable down from the loft to various rooms. In most places I'll be terminating them in keystones in wall sockets, and I have a punch down tool to do this. However, part of the plan is installing some ceiling (and maybe in-wall) mounted APs and these all expect an ethernet jack as input.
Is there a cunning way to terminate in a jack on the ceiling then use a short (bought) patch cable to connect the WAP? I can't see how I'd do this and still be able to fit the AP flush to the ceiling/wall.
Or do I have to bite the bullet and get a crimping tool? The cabling I have is solid core CAT6 if that makes a difference.
