You are asking about a gigabit switch but say the wiring is Cat5. Since the cable is not Cat6, a gigabit switch would be overkill. Anyway, here an inexpensive model. Since Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6A are all rated to do Gigabit ethernet, so long as he has correctly terminated the cables, he should be fine. Had he wanted to do 10 gig, Cat6 or even better Cat6A would be needed.

These aren't terribly long runs we are talking about, so Gigabit should work just fine. Quote: Pretty much this. Gigabit runs fine to meters over Cat5 and better. Well, I guess I got pwned. Regardless, unless the OP is going to me moving massive amounts of data internally I am not seeing a huge advantage.
Most folks see each generation of ethernet as just 10 times faster than the previous generation, but there are real advantages besides speed. I remember collision lights baseT was much more frequently switched and almost universally full duplex. Sadly, Cisco interpreted the auto negotiation standard differently than many other vendors, so baseT was not plug and play in the enterprise.
At the cost of using all 4 pairs for the first time. Someone with more budget will have to explain the new features besides speed in 10gE You know, I do less heavy lifting than I used to. Don't poke the Frennzy. What I ended up doing was mounting a Netgear GST in there using some of the heavy duty velcro stuff.
Specifically I used some 3M Dual Lock. This, this, and this. I should take a picture of the USTec enclosure the builder put in my home when it was built in Most of it isn't being used. It looks horrible but it works just fine, and the USTec enclosure cover still fits over it all after I did some creative cable tie-downs. I think Legrand bought USTec. Regardless, using fancy enclosures that limit you to vendor-specific modules is one of the bigger scams in home structured wiring today.
The only thing builders should be putting in at home-run points is a standard, universal mounting rack Even leaving the home-run location an unfinished cutout in the wall would be preferable.
Mind if I threadjack for a moment? I seriously agree that putting anything but a standard rack is a scam! What would y'all recommend instead of the standard rack? They'd like to finally setup an ethernet network, but it appears GE terminated the product line. This looks superficially like the OnQ stuff I saw. Anyone know if they're compatible? If so, fantastic. Expensive, but at least I have some info to share with them.
Photo more if they're useful. The top stuff is all the phone. It's much better to terminate with jacks than with plugs especially if it's solid-core wiring , then use patch cords to the switch. I think the CC-DP might be the right item. It's a "switch that fit in the cabinet" issue though. If I can't find a switch that fits in the cabinet well, and looks at least somewhat ok to non-techincal folks, there's no point in continuing the project. Measure to be sure.
You'll pay a lot more for something that looks 'neat'. I'd be buying a 24 port switch, pulling those 6 unused module cutouts out of that top-mid area below the phone connects, and 'creatively' removing the bracing between the cutouts to make a large, open space. Just eyeballing it the resulting space would easily fit a standard sized 16 or 24 port switch from Netgear, Linksys, Dell, Cisco, etc. If you don't want to snip that thin bracing it would still fit just fine being velcro'd down over the blanks.
