When I got FTTC installed a few years ago, before the engineer arrived I ran a new Cat6 cable from my master socket downstairs up a chase into the loft and then down into my box room where my PC etc. is located. He used this and moved the master socket there. I have since ran a network to various rooms via RJ45 plate from there.
I now need to move my PC equipment to another room and would like your opinion on best way to deal with the master socket.
Option : 4 would be the easiest, but involves 2 socket joins between master and modem which may drop my speed?
Option : 1 Run a new cable from original Master downstairs up to loft and down to new room and move master to there as originally done. ( Proper thing then would be to get BT Engineer to come and re-terminate at old master and fit new one)
Option 2 : Leave master in box room, run a new cable from back of existing master straight to a socket in new room and connect Openreach modem to that. ( One socket join)
Option 3 : Re-route Cat 6 cable in loft to new room and move master socket there. This would involve cutting cable in loft and making a joint in master cable
Option 4 : Use Patch cable from master to RJ45, pick up from RJ 45 already in new room to modem. Tried to show this with sketch below ( Two socket joins)
Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
