@scottalanmiller No valid technical reason.
I'm installing a patch panel in another room (overkill, but meh), so the cable was truly intended for that, as I'm currently out of extra Cat 5e cable. Each room will have a run of 12 cables.
The original room only had a few cables run, as cabling it was done with whatever cable I had lying around at the time.
-
So you're just adding onto the existing? or your ripping and replacing because the new patch panel is in a new room?

Twelve? Damn, that's more than me. We did four to each normal room, six to my bedroom and the dining room (which has a spot that makes this make sense and is right against the cabling plant location) and then like ten or more to my office. But most rooms, like the kids' bedrooms is only four each.

@Dashrender Both. New room is now getting a patch panel (and cat 6 cables). Old room is going to have the 5 cables it had, replaced with cat 6. Its patch panel remains.

Yeah. This more of an exercise in making and running cable. There's no real technical value for my apartment.
If I'm ever a home owner, then much more thought will go into the cable run.

It's interesting that you're doing this in an apartment. You are allowed to cut holes in the wall or are you doing this a different way?

I have huge bundles in J hooks up in the attic.

@wirestyle22 Running cable along the floor against the wall. When I cross a doorway, I'll either use a wire mold like thing to cross on the floor, or run the cable along the door frame.

I may hire someone to do this perfectly in my new home. In a few years I'm going to be really out of practice. House needs cable porn.
