Media servers and similar demanding network applications mean that wired Ethernet still has a place in the home despite the problems of running cables through the voids.

Most domestic installations are eased using RJ45 plugs directly on the cables wired to the equipment, rather than using patch panels. Home equipment like media servers and the network switches are usually static so using solid-core cable taken directly from switch to equipment is not a problem. If a piece of equipment needs to be plugged and unplugged frequently, then take the network cable to a wall-mounted socket of a type that aesthetically matches the mains sockets in the building. A premade patch cable can then complete the circuit.
