Looks awesome, but I would have run single-mode fiber between the house and the office. Eliminates any issues with lightning strikes taking out equipment or other electrical gremlins, not to mention providing opportunity for expanding bandwidth in the future by just swapping out the SFP modules on each end. Pre-terminated fiber from fs.com is inexpensive and easy to work with - just measure and install.

- taylorfinley 3mo agoYou're looking for a "media converter", often sold in pairs for ~$50. Match it to the fiber connectors you buy.
- Borealid 3mo agoMedia converters are effectively a switch, but less flexible. I would buy a switch with an sfp+ port instead and use it with an appropriate sfp module.
- ipython 3mo agoyou can use a media converter or a small switch - for example: https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/switching-utility/products/usw-flex-2-5g-8-poe https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/switching-utility/produc.... You may already have a fiber aggregation switch in the house to handle other fiber connected devices.
