I had a hard time finding UPC wall outlets since most that are available in the Swiss format are for FTTH use, so they all have APC LC connectors on them. The keystone versions are available as UPC but they lack any fiber routing in the back.

This is what I suspected. Great write-up. Thanks for putting all that effort into it.

I use the Feller one - https://www.feller.ch/de/Produktangebot/Kommunikations-und-Netzwerktechnik/FTTH-DSL-Telefon-Aschlussdosen/Highlight-Produkte https://www.feller.ch/de/Produktangebot/Kommunikations-und-N... - and it's indeed LC/APC. My setup is much simpler - I get 25Gbit/s from init7 to Mikrotik CCR2004 https://mikrotik.com/product/ccr2004_1g_12s_2xs https://mikrotik.com/product/ccr2004_1g_12s_2xs and then distribute it to 2x1Gbit access points, and use the other SFP28 port to power my PC (in another room) via the Intel E810 card. I use the Feller fiber extension cable (20m) and bought some cable puller to pull the fiber via the plastic piping, and then finished it with the Feller outlet. Looks rather clean :) Photo: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FWhHwD0WAAIb3Dt?format=jpg&name=4096x4096 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FWhHwD0WAAIb3Dt?format=jpg&name=... PS: ccr2004_1g_12s_2xs is barely coping with 25Gb/s routing. It can do it, but for multiple TCP sessions, a single one chokes the router at something like 20Gbps (down), 15 Gbps (up).

  Very nice, how much does one of those plates cost? I can't find any prices easily.

    IIRC ~70CHF for the outlet (which only works with the Feller electrical wall outlets AFAIK) + 10CHF (RJ45 module) + 20 CHF (single-port LC/APC module). The cable extension is expensive, 150CHF or so for 20m, but you'd probably need it for this outlet because it's specially designed so it can be attached to the LC/APC module manually (no splicing). Something like Swisscom's ClickLC, just a different system.
