It’s slightly outdated but looks way neater than alot of the posts on here
The top is for splitting a phone line 8 ways. Cable splitter, and then a network patch panel
50 years from now people will be asking this same question.
I had an apartment that had an abus audio system data closet looked very similar if you have abus controllers could be that as well
Plug all those blue cables into an unmanaged Ethernet switch, then plug your router into the nearest blue wall port. The router will feed the switch and the switch will feed the other wall ports
Can you also get a switch for coax cables too? In Australia the internet comes into houses via coax cable. the house we’re moving into has Ethernet outlets and coax outlets in each room.

Punch down block for RJ11 phone cables
Close that up man and enjoy your tv
Patch panel
Someone was walled in long time ago as he was taking a selfie
Leave networking for those who learn it
None of that is rj11 all those cables are twisted pair, nothing to do with phone lines. Those blocks are used to terminate one cable to either a rj45 or another punch down. If there isnt another side to that panel then its punchdown to punchdown. 1->2, 3->4 etc.
Normally if its terminating from one line to another the first line is punched into the block directly, then the color coded c clip is placed over it and then another line is punched into the c clip.
We should probably set up a generic sticky post for this exact setup which I feel like I see a couple times a week
The top one is really for telephone. But you could use it if it’s punched down properly and the other end at the plate has rj45 connection. (Rj45 keystone)
The bottom is probably the one you want…to connect to your router or to your router via a Switch.
