What about using TP-Link fiber converters and running optical, treat the power including anything touching the network? I have ATT Fiber and do everything I can to isolate my system from the noisebox modem combo provided.
Supra Cat 8 for new Fios install?
Hello,
I'm going to be upgrading my Verizon Fios internet and home TV/phone service at some point and was wondering if I should run the Supra Cat 8 before the installer gets here? From the main system (ONT) in my basement, the router is 20 feet away, then my AV system is another 20 feet away from that. I was planning on having those 2 cables there when the install happens, then have smaller lengths from an Etheregen type device to connect into my Blusound 2 and other equipment I have. I will be using solely Qobuz and possibly Roon if future equipment I buy will accept it.
Is anyone familiar with the installation of fios? I also wanted to know if I should run a SC8 from the exterior of the house , through the wall, into the ONT location? There is an ONT and service there already, they are just replacing it with a new one that can handle the newer speeds. I'm planning on getting all the cables with terminations, but also wanted to know if the one from outside to inside,needs terminations or should they just be the cut cable?
Anything else I should be doing before the install? Right now there is Home depot Cat 5 cable there. I am also using the coax cable using Moca or something. Not sure the terminology.
Thanks for reading
