Home Networking Shopping List Scrutiny Requested

Hello. I just bought a home a few weeks ago, and soon after was told that most of the coaxial in the walls was RG59 and needed to be replaced if I wanted to get a cable Internet connection anywhere except the garage (I've since run a line through the attic to at least get the modem and router out of the garage, but more on that later). This prompted me to start looking up possibilities on re-wiring and decided not only to re-coax the house, but to run ethernet through the walls as well. After LOTS of research I'm very close to making the purchases to get this thing going, but I wanted to run my shopping list by people who clearly know more than me to see if I'm missing anything or getting the best equipment for my money.

I'll start with the general idea: I'll be running 3xCAT6 + 1xRG6 to each of two wall plates in each bedroom and the family room as well as one wall plate of the same in the dining room (9 wall plates total). I'll be running 6xCAT6 + 2xRG6 to the living room in two locations (2 double gang wall plates). I'll be running a 1xCAT6 + 1xRG6 to the kitchen (1 plate). Finally, I'll be running 2xCAT6 to two locations on opposite ends of the hallway for future access points/motion detectors/security camera options.

None of the runs are over 50' so I decided not to go with CAT6A because CAT6 can (theoretically?) reach 10Gb/s speeds on short runs... not that I'd even need that kind of speed in the near future. Totaled up and adding 4 ft. to each run estimate just in case, this gives me 1350' of CAT6 needed and 424' of RG6 needed.

To set this all up, I was going to centralize in one of the bedrooms (the office, where the line from demarcation currently is) with a patch panel, switch, and cable splitter to go along with my modem and Wi-Fi router. As it stands, I have 42 CAT6 connections and 12 RG6 connections to bring back to the control center, but don't plan on using more than 10 wired connections in the near future. Because of this, I planned on going with the full 48 port patch panel, but only getting a 16 port switch (with 8 ports of PoE) for now. It looks like if I want to keep PoE capabilities and Gb speeds, the ports scale fairly linearly with cost, so there's not much point in getting a lot more than I need at the moment.

As far as installation, I figure, at worst, I'd be able to do one room a day since I have both attic and crawl space (single story) and all the old cables are there, waiting for me to tie the new cables to them and just pull. Lastly, I'm actually not sure if I want to get a giant box, or just build a rack out of wood, so I haven't put that in the list yet.

Alright. Now that that's out of the way, here's my shopping list that I hope to have scrutinized. Several things are broken up due to specific numbers needed (don't need two packs of 10 of something when I only need 12, for example). Everything's on amazon, mostly because I have a few hundred dollars in gift cards:

Patch cables
Switch
Cable splitter/amplifier
UPS
2000 ft. of CAT6
500 ft. RG6
10x 4-port keystone plates
2x 8-port keystone plates
3x 2-port keystone plates
50x RJ45 keystone terminations
10x Coaxial keystone terminations
4x more coaxial keystone terminations
Coaxial compression tool
Coaxial stripper/cutter
50x compression style F-connectors
10x LV single gang brackets
2 more single gang LV brackets
2x double gang LV brackets
Punchdown tool
Network tester
100x Cable Management
Patch Panel

All told, this is a tad under $1k total.

So, have I overlooked anything? Is something on this list way more than it should be? Are there good enough deals to be had elsewhere that I should forgo $350 in gift cards on amazon?

Thank you for reading all the way to the end, and thank you even more if you answer!
