![]() ![]() Once you get into your crawl, you can just put a bushing on the end to terminate the conduit and run your Ethernet freely. It'll also be easier to seal it with fire resistant caulk. The reason for using conduit rather than just plain wires is that it makes a more finished result and will be easier to add new wires/remove wires in the future. I would make 2 runs of 2" conduit down to your crawl out of the patch panel. If you're patch panel is embedded in the wall, you might need some additional structural support around it. But, it seems you'd have the same problem at the end - how do you seal the end of the conduit where the cables come out? I've also seen recommendations to place the cables in a pipe or conduit running down to the crawl space. But, if I don't seal the hole, I worry we'll get vermin coming up from the crawl space into the house (we've got a mouse problem). Sealing a hole this big with caulk seems like a mess, particularly if I have to run new cables in the future. When I've previously run single ethernet cables between rooms, I've drilled small holes in bottom plates and sealed up these holes with caulk.īut, to make a hole large enough for 24 cables, I'm picturing having to make a much bigger hole. How do folks recommend getting this many cables out of the room and down to the crawl space? ![]() I'll likely bundle these cables, punch through an interior wall and down into our crawl space. ![]() I envision running up to two dozen ethernet cables out of a patch panel in this room to the rest of the house. I'm setting up a home ethernet network in a spare bedroom. ![]()
