Personally.. I wired my house and put in punchdowns. I think it looks very messy running the cable and leaving it hanging out of a hole in the wall with the plug on the end.
If you don't feel...

For the sake of $3 a pop I'd rather just use labels and not let idiots into my wiring closet/cabinet.

MEaning - rather than punchdown the "home" runs into a panel then have to make MORE wiring (that would go into a router/switch/etc, remember this is HOME wiring), wire your home runs and terminate...

What is that supposed to mean?!
The only data rated jacks are either punch down tools or or tool-less keystone jacks (which most people don't have many nice things to say about). There aren't...

My thoughts exactly. My box is crammed as it is. I can't see adding a patch panel and doubling the number of cables in there. When I want to rewire a jack from phone to Ethernet, I just pull the plug...

that's exactly what I am talking about. I made a small patch panel out of something like this by jumping the appropriate wiring to make it telco. I got a ~ 3 ft length of cat5e, plugged one end...

I can't stand punch downs, personally. I think in a home setting there is no need for punchdown - why not just terminate with a jack? It would make it far easier to switch to a phone jack if...

Typical rule of thumb is to number the outlets starting to the right of the doorway in a clockwise direction in ascending order in each room.
You also start with one room and work your way around...

You can just repunch it down if you absolutely had to. I can't stand cables in a wiring closet that haven't been terminated at a patch panel. Also it shouldn't matter how it's punched down in the...

dont bother running cables with the ends. leaves a really un professional look, and you're likely going to need to over drill stuff. I've done it before in really bad tight spots, but it's really...

As others have mentioned, yes, you can purchase cables with the RJ45 plugs on them. Similar to what you already must have connecting your router to your computer etc. You can purchase varying...
