- Layout -
First you need to find a suitable location for your 'LAN-Central' - It's preferred that it is placed as central as possible in your house or flat. Maby close to a stairway or in a closet in your hallway is a good location. Is is from this central al your cables is going out to your different Ethernet Outlets.

Stapled cables and two Ethernet
outlets in my garage

- Wire Connections -
When the cables is in place, it's time to connect al the Ethernet Outlets and the Patch-Panel.

Connect the wires inside each Ethernet Outlet, using the modular tool (KRONE-Tool) and the 'T568B' color markings. Follow the steps 1 to 4, as shown by the images below.

Also Take a look at the Patch panel installation, you find some nice information.
