New Around Here
I am moving into a new home and it is prewired with Cat 5 cable to all the rooms. The central panel, a Leviton Integrated Networks, is wired into the master bedroom closet. First off, can someone help me understand why the white wire from the top is split into individual strands to the "hub"? The blue cat 5 cables are labeled and run to each room in the house. It is not immediately obvious to me what is going on with the wiring.
Second off, the bedroom closet unfortunately is not ideal for me to mount my planned equipment rack. What are my options for moving or running cables into the garage instead? Should I place a switch in the bedroom closet and run one cable to the garage where the other equipment will be located? (Server, Router, Modem, etc.) I cannot put all that equipment in the master closet... Is getting it moved expensive? (electrician) Can I do it myself? Worthwhile? Etc
Thoughts?
