You can go that route but patch panels can improve aesthetics and make it easier to manage. If it's a small setup though there really isn't any reason you can't.
The CAT5 cable used for structured cables isn't designed to have an RJ45 on the end either.
Sorry but I have to ask, why exactly is it not designed for rj45 termination?
Solid CAT5 / CAT5e
Solid CAT5 / CAT5e
Got it, this type of cable wouldn't normally be installed in homes or condominiums I assume?
That's it, I fucking give up with this forum.

P11 my advice is ignor this place and do some more reading otherwise you'll be terminating solid CAT5 with standard RJ45 connectors and running VoIP phones on the data vlan and god knows what else in no time at all.
lol if you think you can't buy connectors for solid wire then we're probably better off without you...
Why? Because you have not seen solid core wire terminators before?

Thats a quick example, I buy from my bulk wire suppliers all the time. The connectors are specifically designed for Solid core Cat5 wire....

It works to add ends to solid, but results may vary. I tried it a few times with cat6 solid with poorer results than cat5e stranded. Some cables would not even register at gigabit! If you have the proper ends I guess it probably helps though. I just had standard ends that you'd buy anywhere. They're normally made for cat5e stranded I believe.
Fold them in half while you at it. Who needs to care about bend radius?
The problem is that while you can buy connectors for solid wire, there's no such thing as a "universal" solid connector. The wire gauge and external diameter of solid ethernet cables varies considerably. If you try different cables with the same connector, you will inevitably find that some conductors are too big to fit in the connector without unacceptable flexing and compression. Some cables with bulky splines will get crimped/pinched by the retaining tab, while other splineless cables aren't thick enough to engage the retaining tab properly.lol if you think you can't buy connectors for solid wire then we're probably better off without you...
I would like to say sorry to everyone though, I flew off the handle and it wasn't needed. I love you all really, thanks dudes
Yeah there's a different between design and best practice, and I can do it by using proprietary connectors and/or making it work because I don't want to use the correct wire. I can guarentee you that if a contractor was doing structured wiring for us and was attempting to terminate solid core with connectors they wouldnt be around for very long.

if you can not terminate solid core cat5 with an rj45 end you might as well quit at computers.
