Currently planning out a new build for daughter and SIL.
Looking at installing a 24 port gig unmanaged switch into a ELK 28" housing and with what else is going the housing it is quite tight so the only way would be to cable and connect directly to the switch via RJ45 connectors.
I typically would run the Cat6 cable to a patch and then jump from patch to switch with short RJ45 cables.
Just wondering what you guys see as pros and cons. Obviously wiring direct from a performance perspective would give the highest given the signal doesn't have to go through a patch.
All cable would be clearly labelled.
Appreciate your thoughts.

Fleetz
