I've already done that with a $20 switch and RJ-45 crimp tool.

I want to move the router from atop my kitchen cabinets to a more appropriated location for expensive technology. (And I would leave the three Cat6 runs that I connected to a cheap gigabit switch in the garage which would mean I would need to extend the current yellow ethernet cable that they ran back to the garage when I moved the router).

For all new builds, it seems they run the main fiber into the garage (purple) then drop it down and run a yellow fiber cable to the router in the kitchen through flex PVC. Along the same run is a yellow Cat6 cable (no ends crimped) back to the garage which it can tie into the three blue Cat6 cables they ran from ports installed in the master bedroom, lanai, and living room.
