You'll also be taking up additional space in the building, which is not cheap if you look at that cost. In the office building model you are evidently borrowing from, this scales to make some sense. In a house, (or small office, for that matter) not so much. | |
| Apr 4, 2017 at 15:09 | comment | added | mmathis | @StephenL There's really no reason to keep each floor's cabling separate. Everything you have will be on the same subnet of the same network (i.e., there's no logical separation), so there's no reason for physical separation either. It also makes it harder to fix problems, harder to balance bandwidth, and requires more switches and patch panels. Wire is cheap, and if your walls are open, labor is not an issue. | |
| Apr 4, 2017 at 2:05 | comment | added | Tyson | The difference in wire used is negligible. In fact you might use more, it just depends based on route. In an office building your terminating 100s of connections per floor, in your residence your talking 30 total (by your count). Eventually you'll want to hook up widget X (a product that may or may not exist today) and you won't be able to because wires 1, 17 and 24 are all terminating in different wiring closets. | |
| Apr 4, 2017 at 1:58 | comment | added | Tom S | Just curious why you think the de-centralized cable closet is not a good idea? I figure it would be shorter to run the cables from different floors and keeps each floor's cabling segregated from each other. | |

| Apr 3, 2017 at 22:34 | comment | added | Tyson | In residential I highly recommend one central location, don't do these de-centralized cable closets. You'll be much happier with home runs to one central location, preferably just inside the designated point for utility entry. | |
