    Need help with wiring new house

    Hello, My builder routed all the CAT5e cables (phone or LAN) and video cables into a Leviton 14" recessed box. For the existing phone jacks, he connected all the cables to a simple punch panel. The additional CAT5e I had him add for the other rooms is just sitting in the box (not terminated...
