You want a 1u rack and a rack mounted power strip. I use:

Have you decided where the switch is going to go? If there is a basement, especially if it's unfinished, I would recommend putting it in there. How many floors is it? Running cabling up to a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th floor will be a nightmare without an attic you can get into.

As far as a 24 port switch goes, you can't go wrong with the D-Link DGS-1024D. I have the 16 port 10/100 version right now and have been happy with it for years.

I looked through the network racks on Amazon but I don't see anything particularly outstanding on there that you can't get on monoprice.com for way cheaper. I have this one mounted on my wall in my basement right now and it's pretty nice but it's nothing fancy. If you're looking at something along these lines I would possibly look at getting one with a hinge so you can swing the patch panel out when you're punching down your pairs.

Other parts I used and would most definitely recommend having for this project.

Cat 6 cable (obviously)

Patch Panel

Fish Sticks or Fish Tape for pulling wire

Surge Protector

Cable Crimper

Punch Down Tool

Cable Tester

Keystone Jacks

Wall Plates

Wall Mounting Brackets

Some way of keeping your cables organized so your setup doesn't end up in /r/cablefail

Preferably some low voltage conduit for running up the walls in case you need to run more cables later.

thank you for the information. that was really helpful. what would you say is a minimum needed for an outlet in joules? I see this

1800 joules of protection, 15-Amp electrical capacity with circuit breaker, and 12 surge-protected outlets

does that outlet meet to standards for joules? and I shall definitely look at what my appliances total for amps so it doesn’t overload the strip. just to clarify though, are there other power strips that can handle more than 15 amps for a household plug? or is it restricted because of the household plug?

thanks again! i’ll look more into these details
