Connect APL socket directly to LAN cable Cat7?
Hello,
I've bought a single-family home. We're currently in the process of rewiring the entire electrical system. And, of course, LAN cables in various rooms.
I believe there are two worktop outlets in the basement. One looks very old, one fairly new. There's no TAE outlet installed in the house.
My question:
Is it possible to connect a CAT7 LAN cable directly to the APL socket in the basement?
So I don’t need another TAE socket.
So I could simply lay a LAN cable to the APL socket (basement) and then connect this cable from the APL to my router (ground floor).
Or is it necessary to install a TAE socket + splitter in between?

You only need the splitter if it is an ISDN or analog connection with DSL.
If you order a new connection today, it is a DSL with Voice over IP. Then no splinter. The feed line directly into the FritzBox (or other routers).
You can use the CAT cable as a line. Only 2 veins are used.
Okay, as I understand, I still have to get from the APL to a TAE can, and from the TAE to my router, right?
I use the Speedport Smart 3 from Telekom, which should have Voice over IP.
Which can you use doesn’t matter. The DSl socket on the router is an RJ45 socket. I would place a CAT cable and install a network can on both sides. Then put the router into the can with a patch cable and use the TAE on RJ45 cables in the basement. And above all, I would throw out the speedport and use a FritzBox.
Super, so I do. Thank you.
Using Cat7 as a lead is always good:D Leave a ring to the APL and at the other end only a TAE comes. No splinter or something. The technicians have enough cans in the car, so you don’t need to worry at the switch date
