Delivery Of Ethernet Wall Mounting Decora Inserts
[ Wednesday October 5th 2022 at 1:54 pm ]

I am working at setting up Ethernet in the shed. I prefer using Ethernet instead of WiFi when possible. The use of an Ethernet cable is more reliable. It is typically faster than WiFi. On account of having a physical disability and using a power wheelchair cords and cables have become tripping hazards. In fact I had to switch to a wireless keyboard and mouse because of tripping in the past.

I am planning to setup Ethernet jacks throughout the shed (before the walls are insulated). I've thought through how I will terminate the Ethernet wires prior to connecting them to an Ethernet switch. I've decided to use wall mounting decora inserts and short lengths of Ethernet cables to join this to a switch. The decora inserts have arrived. I am only a few days away from needing this.

It is exciting and rewarding seeing this project coming together. I will be glad when it is done. This now looks like spring 2023 is what is reasonable. As long as I am making consistent progress and friends are able to assist me as needed this should finish off well. I am grateful for the help. The prospects this means for my life is really promising.
