Planning home wiring for 10 gig and beyond
A new house is being prepared with inside the walls before move-in. The goal is to make wall plates support both 10 gig copper and 10 gig or faster fiber .
The first plan was to run older OM3 LC fiber alongside CAT6A cable. Later, OM5 seemed like a better option because it can support higher .
Another strong recommendation was to use instead of multimode fiber. Because pulling these cables through the house will be difficult, the desired setup is one that can keep using the same cables and long term, possibly up to 400Gbps.
Key points
- The plan is to run CAT6A and fiber through the walls of a new house.
- The target is support for 10 gig copper and 10 gig or faster fiber at wall plates.
- OM3 LC was the original fiber choice.
- OM5 is being considered because it can support higher .
- was also strongly recommended as a long-term option.
