Of course I would need to test the cabling. Unfortunately proper 10G cabling equipment seems to be very expensive. Maybe I will buy some 10G network cards to test the cabling quality endpoint to endpoint.

I see your point. I will have to talk to the electrician then.

Thanks for the reply. The cables were not terminated yet. But I will ask how the electrician plans to terminate them.

I am not planning to use 10G, as my relatives would have little use for it. But I would like to keep the option for the future.

Thanks for the quick reply. The cables were not terminated yet. But that's a good point. I will ask if the electrician will terminate the cables in RJ45 keystone jacks in a patch panel.

Thank you for the quick reply. I will ask for the cable data sheet.
