Hi guys
I would like to ask those who have gone through in Unifi installation on terrace houses. At this moment, I m renovating my house, and I plan to use Unifi when my house is ready. Since Unifi does not allow us to install before renovation is complete, I have a few questions which I need to clarify before i go forward with my reno :
1) Is there anything I can do to conceal the Unifi wiring during my reno? I plan to insert empty trunking from outside to the location I plan to put my unifi, but I have heard that TM technicians have refused to use the trunking provided. Can I know how do I go about this? Can I hire TM contractors or anyone to guide/install the trunking before installation of the actual Unifi, so that I do not get problems later?
2) Any TM contractors which anyone of you can recommend?
3) If eventually I can't get TM contractors to help approve/guide on the Unifi trunking, what should I tell my contractor to install the Unifi? Can the trunking make 90 degrees corners or not?
4) I plan to put all Unifi equipment into my storeroom (i have my LAN there too), but it has to go through 4 set of walls (outside wall, room wall, room wall, storeroom wall). Will TM contractors drill holes onto these walls to pull the fiber cable through? This is the worse case scenario, where no trunking is installed at all.
Thanks a lot guys

I have similar situation. Currently there is telekom underground trunking from outside to my store room where telekom distribution box is located. Since Unifi fiber line will go thru existing telekom underground trunking outside the house, I would expect them to use existing trunking as well to bring it into my house. Anyone else has similar setup? Will Unifi contractor place the FTB in my store room then?
Right now there is no power outlet in the store room. I plan to get electrician to create a power outlet and pull a Cat5e cable from this store room thru the plaster ceiling to my existing network centre upstairs. This way I can place the BTU in the store room, hook up the RJ11 to telekom DB in the same room and place RG/STB in my network centre. Would this work? Comments? Thanks.

What I did was have the fiber optic cable enter into the wet kitchen. Then I design one small storage area there to keep just the optical network unit. Then from the storage area, I pulled 1 x CAT6 hidden in the wall to my office. So the router will be placed in my office. Optical modem and router not in one location, but joined by one long ass network cable embedded in the wall. As for the fiber optic phone line, I also put one phone socket in the area where the optical modem is, and this goes to my living room downstairs, where I'll place the cordless phone.
This is similar to what I plan to do. Have you got your Unifi? Does it work, having FTB and RG in two separate locations? I would need 50ft Cat5e cable to separate them. Cat6 is less flexible and don't really need it for something less than 100Mbps. Thanks.
