> If running a few at home, I suggest to run ... that can have around 12 fibers in them, plenty of future expansion. What kind of home network needs 12 fibers on a single run!?

Tautologically, a high-bandwidth one.

I ran fiber when I built my house a few years ago. I have MANY 12 fiber runs going to my IDF/MDFs, Server room, the gate, the dmarc, etc. I also ran SM fiber to every AP location. Out of 20 miles of pulls about 1 mile was fiber.

  Why not copper with PoE to the APs? You still have to get power to AP somehow.

    I have both. 2 Cat6As plus a SM fiber to each AP location. The APs need power over POE. I just added in my first AP that was 10g (Ubiquiti XGS), and that uses POE over 10g.
