I did that in the last house. I used  less that 1/4 of them. In the end I ‘hid’ the rest inside a false wall, never to be seen again.

Why not just run some T&E when installing the CAT cables.

Costs 40p/m from Screwfix.

Then it all needs to be run in safe zones. Or do you mean to put low voltage done? The benefit of PoE is only one outlet and connector needed. Not sure what you'd terminate T&E at the wall with for low voltage connection without it looking a mess.

The major cost of PoE is not the cable but the a switch with sufficient PoE budget. This is defo where a patch panel comes into its own (easily able to balance exactly which ports have PoE over time)

Yes.

Probably sensible to do that anyway.  Sooner or later someone will come along with a drill.

Could run it as low voltage, but why bother, just more 'things' to buy.
