Need help with home network (alien.top)

Hello everyone,

Recently i finished building my home and now i need to create a network, i already have headaches from it so i decided to ask for help.

Situation:

I recieve fiber into my home --> FTU to NT The NT is connected to my provider Modem Router.

I have a coil of 100m Cat 6 S/FTP flex 100% copper at my current disposal along with the right connectors.

During the building i have left several empty pipes to pull the wire through. However at 3 places i covered the opening up with a blind plate because it was right next to my light switches, and having a yellow pipe sticking out of the wall looks a bit odd.

Now my headache gets real, if i want to install a proper network wall mount (on the spot where the blind plate currently is) I need a solid cable right?

Now I dont want to have a big ass patch panel for just 3 cables. What is the best way to solve this?

All other cables will be connected to a Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Lite 8 PoE (already have that) because I need to connect 4 PoE devices in my network.

If you leave a comment thanks in advance.

I'm not sure I follow. You can terminate your cables into wall mounted sockets just like your electrics. What's the issue with this?
