So networking really is my weak point.

I've got a direct fibre connection 300mbps coming through my floor and into an ONT/modem. From there I want to run an ethernet cable through the wall (plasterboard) and outside, up the wall and then into another room and into the back of a single gang module rj45 port so that I can plug my router into there and into all of my devices.

Does the following look right?

Cat6 module - https://www.comms-express.com/products/ce-rj45-cat6-utp-shuttered-module/
Faceplate - https://www.comms-express.com/products/ce-single-gang-flat-faceplate-with-1-x-euromod-25x50-slot/
Back box - https://www.comms-express.com/products/ce-single-gang-surface-mount-back-box/

If so, happy days.

Next question is, I've been advised by a few to get cat7 cable to futureproof myself and then can change the module at a later date when needed as the cable will then already be run. Obviously cat7 cable is expensive so can I just buy something like this - http://www.banggood.com/110M-Durabl...AN-Network-Cord-p-1026906.html?rmmds=category or this - http://www.cables2u.co.uk/cat7-pimf-ethernet-cable-blue-smoke-zero-halogen-p-1323.html and just chop off one end and use a push pin tool to put it into the back of the module?

Don't think any of the links are breaking OCUK rules :)

Thanks in advance,

Thanks guys.

Cat 6 or 6a? Only need 10 metres so don't want to buy a whole drum if not needed.

Best place for it? I don't think OcUK sell cat cable.

Thanks

Yeah it's external grade that I linked to up there ^

Also it's a fibre connection in a new build so it's not as easy to "move" the incoming cable and modem. It's an ONT which then splits off into junction boxes for the television telephone etc...

Thanks for your help guys.
