Ethernet cable with no end connector

[Leooooooo]

Hi there,

My home comes with ethernet cables installed so all the rooms have access though a port, however, these connectors do not have an end. Would an engineer be able to come and crimp these or not, as they are currently unuseable without an rj45 connector on the end. Our landlord has said that this is an issue sky is supposed to resolve. Image attached.

Your landlord is wrong.  That's not something which any ISP would do: their responsibility ends at their own router, and doesn't extend to subscriber network cabling.

A business ISP might offer ethernet planning and installation as a separate service to broadband (at an interesting daily rate) but a domestic ISP won't do so.

Also note that in the absence of labels on the cable ends, getting those sorted is likely to be a fairly lengthy and tedious job and a network specialist will charge accordingly.

Incidentally, you really need appropriate punch-down faceplates on the back boxes rather than crimped RJ45 plugs on the end of trailing cables.

And they are all probably in the wrong place looks like a cupboard space, if only the would put them

somewere usefully were the router is or at least 2 cables to that point...

Housebuilders do seem to routinely fail at such things...

Conceivably that's intended to be the location for an ethernet switch: at least there's actually a power socket this time.

But if they would only at least put 2 cables in the central position you have a fighting chance of getting the router out the cupboard, and the switch in the cupboard...

Just went through all of this with my sister, in her new build, and boy was she not happy, what can you do!

It makes more sense for FTTP, with one ethernet cable run used from ONT to a router in the cupboard, and then router or switch ports over ethernet back to the other rooms.

@TimmyBGood 

So if i am correct you are thinking leave the router in the cupboard, hang some mesh of the wired points external, switch of the WiFI or leave it on hard to get a good signal out the cupboard off most new builds anyway and go that way.

@JimM1 

I'd probably go that way, yes, but this is typically only really feasible with FTTP (unless the master socket for FTTC is also in the cupboard) and the user either doesn't need a 'landline' phone at all or is happy to have a DECT phone node there too, with other handsets elsewhere: this is potentially problematic when the main phone node had additional functionality such as voicemail controls.

That was how i tested my sister's new build, i placed the router in the cupboard, she did not need phone for the landline as she can use mobile with prefered wifi calling, so that was not an issue.

Shut the door and lucky if i could get a signal 10' away from that cupboard, Placed the router out in lounge and covered nearly 80% of the house with a few spot's and one booster would have sorted that out.

There is a get out of jail, where there is a connection hall side, and one in the lounge just opposite same side and she is checking with the builder if i can replace single skt with double, try to fish cable accross 

and wire it that way. Offically not allowed to touch anything for 1 year, and she just moved in about 6 weeks ago. I should never have shown her how good wired connection's are and she would be none wiser.
