Hi,
I am a competent DIYer; I've run wires and installed my own plumbing. I am interested in setting up an extended family member's home for built-in Ethernet wiring while the property is undergoing extensive remodeling including walls being brought to the stud and exposed floor-joists as well as adding a second story, so now would be the perfect time for me to run telecommunication lines through the structure without much problem, but I cannot seem to find the proper products for my needs.
I know I am looking to run approximately 350ft of CAT6 cabling running no more than 55ft from farthest location to a central hub, with a minimal run of about 18ft to the hub. The closest CAT6 cable I could find was:

Does anyone having any experience running built in Ethernet cabling that would advise against this product?
Secondly, I am looking for something equivalent to a 6 port patch panel, but built in wall (I'd rather not use a wall plate because the cabling will be cramped together and more difficult to interact with). Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Lastly, does anyone have any tips for running the cables themselves through exposed walls?
Would anyone recommend against running coaxial cables adjacent to/parallel to the CAT6?
3/30 Update:
Thank you for the responses so far, the cable I am running will be in-wall/through floor joists only and terminated with RJ45 keystone jacks--none of the cabling will be exposed. Would any UTP, solid cable work? I know I need cabling plenum rated for my local fire codes, but I cannot seem to find any cabling with that rating online.
