I subscribe to this philosophy.
I recently had my house remodeled. A lot of the walls were opened up and I asked the contractor to run fiber and cat 6a everywhere. Now every room has multiple drops of each. Even the outdoor and garage have several drops. Bathrooms have ethernet. Attic, basement and storage room has multiple drops. I may have overdone it. But, I never wanted to every worry about this ever again.
- joshuaheard 2y agoI thought about multiple drops of cat6 per room in my house, but they charged me per drop. So I just put one drop in each room and added a switch in a room that needs multiple connections. It's usually for Wifi WAP, smart TV, and the Tivo box.
- throwaway2037 2y agoNice story. Why did you choose to drop both fiber and copper? My assumption: You can run 1/2.5G very cheap these days over copper. When 10G/25G gets much cheaper later, you can switch to fiber.
- sponaugle 2y agoThere is no power over fiber.
