![]() It was a small house and he put in a cable that included two ethernet and two coax, one ethernet was to be setup for networking and the other used for telephone service I also remember a pair of lines being ran so that an intercom could be put in or used for something else requiring up to 12V dc power I actually had a person start to do it right at one point. If I end up with a house in the future I want to find something I can gut and have everything done correctly. I have seen literally brand new houses where the cable company had to punch a hole in a wall and string coax around outside to provide service. The place was a little outside of town in a new development but there was absolutely no thought put into communications and most of the time that is the way stuff I have seen has been built. The owners had the house built, they basically picked a design and what they wanted for materials and colors and didn't even think about anything else. The only thing installed in the place was a single phone line into a kitchen. ![]() The issue was that the wireless gateway in an upstairs closet on the north end of the house wasn't strong enough to put a signal to a room on the south end of the house. I was doing some stuff a few years ago and went into a house where the WISP I worked for was supplying service. Not a lot of extra cable so I just left it alone when I figured it out later on. I think they used the TIA T568A on each keystone and I put the rj45's on as T568B without even thinking. my modem, router and switch all sit in the closet and luckily the cables were terminated to some semblance of correct. I pulled the cables from the punchdown blocks and put some rj45's on each one with a switch. ![]() On top of it all the only way you could ACTUALLY plug in a regular phone would be to make a cable to adapt from an rj45 to an rj11 as they put the rj45 jacks in the rooms. Coax cable comes in but absolutely no landline other than a VOIP through the cable company. The apartment I am in has Cat5e in the walls but was terminated to a box setup for handling phone lines, I think the only reason why the Cat5e was ran was because it was a bonded cable that was coax and ethernet.
