Hi everyone, my home is getting a full rewire end of Feb, I want ether cable ran to bedrooms from router in living room.

The plan is to run 2 cables from living room up into loft into a tp link 8 gigabit network switch, and then 2 cables down from that into each room.

2 should do as only for tv and pc.

I will fit the proper plugs in rooms then wires from tv into plug,but in the loft side you think I should just have wires straight into switch or should I have more plugs and then wires from switch into plugs ?

I am thinking just wires on the loft side straight into switch no need for a plug .

Also I need a link or advice on the best cable , I am aware that solid wires are better non copper coated alloy, no idea on how much I will need.

Any advice or anyone that's done something similar and willimg.to give a bit advice welcome , electrician said if I get the cable he will run in no problem.

Thanks dean

There I'd a lot of abbreviations on the u/utp etc so when I am off work Tuesday I will write down all the prises of excel and kenable cables , I don't know of the electrician will wire in the cables into wall plugs or leave that for me so if I need to do it I will need to watch some videos but see what he says, in loft I will leave the wire and make sure excess wire both sides in rooms and in loft.

Will just put straight into the switch in loft then wires will go straight down the walls into plug.

Also I think 2 each room will do as xbox etc seems to work fine from wifi etc. Just for tvs as wifi seems rubbish on them to be honest plus if needed I can get the wifi extenders that plug into the ether cable plugs, will have a think and look when off work, and if any questions come back here.

Thanks so much for all the great advice
