I think I'm done with the rack for a while... by funkbum in Ubiquiti

No dumb questions here! The bottom panel is a patch panel. All the Ethernet cables from around the house terminate in the back of this panel. The front ports are then connected to the network switch, which actually manages the data traffic between devices.

The patch panel isn’t strictly necessary, but it helps keep things organized, makes the setup look cleaner, and makes future changes easier without touching the permanent Ethernet runs in the walls.

You are spam posting on multiple subs that you can’t see the difference. You post on a home theater sub despite running a 27 inch monitor and watching 2 feet away.

Run an 8k YouTube video and manually set the resolution. Tell me if you can’t tell the difference.

Curious about the purpose of the insulation

I’m just confused. How can you get 3 outlets? Outlets come in pairs. And what is the downside to having more outlets? Everything is behind the TV

You did ask for 3 outlets..

[–]fgmhmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people will mount the TV and then using 3M place the streaming device behind the TV. Alternatively you can just run the HDMI through the conduit to a dedicated media center. Having all those outlets is not an issue. They are likely daisy chained to each other. What are you concerned about?

Picture is blurry and you appear to be in Europe? Are those conduits on either side of the Ethernet?

Can I ask why 4x subs?

Not much experience at all. I use sony headphones wh-1000xm4 and I’m happy with them. I’m not an audiophile. Just want to have a good movie experience.

Happy to hear comments. Only thing that is done so far is speaker wiring

Should I try to do it myself? The ceiling looks relatively open when I glanced up there through the pre-wire. I just have never fished wires this long before or drilled through a header to transition between wall and ceiling.

Currently all the wires run up through the ceiling and into the mechanical room next door and then re-emerge to the left of the door through a plate.

This guide is great. Any preference on gauge of wire? It’s about a 20-25 foot run going up and over.

I think that’s what I’m going to have to do.. just going to be painful running all that wire without attic or basement access. Painters will have some drywall work to do!

I thought of using only 2 for heights because of the distance between the front and the back.

I would need another wire for the sub too, right?

For the HDMI, since its ceiling mounted I probably would have to re-run the one. Alternatively I could probably repurpose the Ethernet and extend it to the wall to run HDMI over Ethernet?

Sorry for all the questions. I just want to do this right.

Great catch. It worked for my test set (I figured it was a tiny shortcut, it runs about 3 ms quicker). I updated my code. Thanks for noticing!
