Any clue if I can use this for home networking or security or whatever? Looks like it can used for networking to me. Do the following... Isolate the network cables (twisted pair CAT5, CAT5e, etc.). Trace these cables using a toner like this Klein Tools VDV500-705 Wire Tracer Tone Generator and Probe Kit. Identify and label home runs. Terminate the cable runs on either end using a T568A or T568B standard. Cables in the structured media cabinet above can be terminated individually with RJ45 caps, or in a patch panel. IMO patch panels are better. Buy a suitable network switch for the structured media cabinet. Planning on using GFiber which is routed to another room. There will need to be an Ethernet run from the GFiber router to this structured media cabinet, and to the network switch, for providing wired Internet to the wall ports. Think about how you want everything wired - GFiber router to swtich to home lab. BTW, congrats on the new home.
