I installed a network cabinet in the basement of my parents' house in 2016 after multiple disruptions occurred due to faulty lines and power outages resulting in hardware damage. At that time, some people thought something had happened because no one was answering the phone anymore.

Then came the consideration of how to make it more reliable, and this was the result:

A 19-inch network cabinet designed for housing internet, telephone, emergency call, and UPS equipment.

The uppermost row features a 24-port patch panel, with 5 ports currently in use within the cabinet.
A cable guide for network cables is present in the second row.
The third row contains a shelf, with a cable router on the far left and a PoE injector in the center.
The fourth and fifth rows house two power strips: the upper one labeled 'UPS' powers most cabinet devices, while the unlabeled lower strip is connected to the regular power supply.

At the bottom of the cabinet, a UPS is placed on the left, the emergency dialer is centered, and spare parts such as power supplies, cage nuts, and various cables are on the right.
