How would you do this?
michty_me:
I'm in the process of moving my network into my cupboard and only one item left to 'sort' which is the modem.
If you look at the attached picture (excuse the mess), I have the Zyxel in the master socket. The cupboard is directly behind the wall the master socket is on.
I'm considering three options which are:
1. Moving the master or have a very short extension socket through to the other side and plugging the modem in the cupboard too.
2. Fit a network port on each side of the wall which leaves the modem where it is.
3. Cut a notch out the bottom of the master socket and just have a dangling Ethernet cable from the bottom. I believe another member on here done similar.
I'm a bit of a neat freak sometimes so at present I would probably look at option 1.
I'll need to change my Zyxel to one cable for DSLstats as I'm currently using two.
What would you do or any other ideas that I've probably missed.

Hi
Please be aware of fire risk inside of cupboard and I think there are regulations for this.
That aside, and your intent on placing equipment inside cupboard, I would move master socket inside and also route your line cable inside. Then plaster over where master socket was
Many thanks

I did have a look but could not locate anything concrete about it.
All that will be in there is an Edgerouter X and a network switch. I may fit a smoke alarm to be on the same side actually.
I may just get a blanking plate if for whatever reason I decide to put it back to the original place. Looking at it written out, it seems the most logical way.

hopefully you'll be removing that death trap of a block adapator!
michty_me:
Absolutely!
That was just a temporary solution until I sorted this all out. It ended up staying like that for some time :-[
