What kind of fiber line do I need to run?
What kind of fiber line do I need to run from inside my home to outside? It is going from a low voltage panel, through a conduit, and then outside. Does telus have a recommendation? Brand, specs, ratings, etc? The folks at Gescan didn't know. Also, do I need to make the termination connection or will telus do that? Thank you1.8KViews0likes1CommentRunning fibre line and home planning
Hi I am remodeling my home and have the drywall riped off. My idea is to have a low voltage panel and a network switch in there. From there I will have about 15 cat6 runs to various parts of the home. So basically: telephone pole -> outside box -> low volt panel-> ONT -> telus modem -> network switch -> cat6 cable runs to wall ports. (1) anything wrong with this setup? (2) I will need a phone line as well but I heard the ONT handles this, so I can just run the signal through a cat6 cable I already ran, correct? (3) telus says I need to run the fiber line from my low volt panel where the ONT will be to the box they will install on the side of the home. What are the specs of this cable? The people at gescan couldn't help me as their are many different cables. I think it needs to be OFNR outside/ inside rated? Single mode? Where can I get this cable (the run is about 80-100 feet). Do I need to make the terminations as well or can telus do that? Thanks!Solved3.9KViews0likes3Comments
