I've hardwired my home with Cat6 cable to 11 jacks throughout the house. I've ran all the lines back to a central closet that will house a small network rack. From that closet, I've ran a Cat6 line and RG6 line to the exterior for the Spectrum connection.
Now, My assumption is that to make it clean and aesthetically pleasing, I should put a 24 port patch panel in and punch down those Cat6 cables to that patch panel. I'd then make up small patch cables and connect each patch panel port to its port on a 24 port network switch.
After that, I'd connect the modem to the network switch and that would provide the data connection to all of the ethernet jacks in the house. It makes sense in my head but I'm looking for some confirmation that it will work before buying all the equipment.
