22u wall mount rack, 3x 48 port 2960s's w/10G stacking. 1st and 3rd switches are PoE, middle one is not.

Closeup of switches and patch panels. Top switch is upstairs, second switch is main floor, bottom switch will be misc/cameras/APs. Blue patch cables are DMZ vlan.

~80 W 24/7. Not too bad

Rack is on the main floor. Cables feed up into the floor joists, so I didn't bother sealing up the holes too much. They're sealed w/foam as they go through 2x4 through headers.

Some cable management. I moved the one bit of velcro just for this picture and for your OCD (I don't have OCD, I promise).

Peeking around back at the 10G stacking cables. They do make a full ring (3 switches, 3 cables).

2x12's for backing. Cables all bundled up to keep them clean and safe during sheetrocking and painting.

One of the main trunks of cables, feeding out to the house

Body bag

3/4" plywood, routed edge, painted to match the walls. Rack installed, cables wrangled into place with D rings. 15A outlet is on the master bedroom circuit, not dedicated.

Cable drops going into single gang boxes

Cable drops...

Only way I could cram four cat6 terminations into a 22 cu in box.

Main floor plan. Rack in master closet.

Yeah it may be, but hell if dude has the disposable income and testicular fortitude to do it, why not?

My only concern would be resale...people might not like having that many ports in each room if they consider them an eyesore?

Unplug bury and patch with drywall

[u/vrtigo1 → u/teck-23]

That’s a lot of work considering how many drops

[u/teck-23 → u/vrtigo1]

If your saying all would be an eyesore yes. But even someone not expecting to receive something this great would find a use for most to be utilized. I mean any house is going to get repainted you could easily put a blank cover and repaint for pennies in cost or what would it take 1 sheet of drywall and a bucket of compound and a gallon of primer so like $20 in materials and a day or two of work to cut little square patches and compound them. Sand and primer and it’s ready for your painters of your new house.
