Yes, 10Gbps, maybe need to wait longer too. Only high end switch are using 10Gbps, but due to high CRC, many prefer to use fiber instead.
Also the Cat 6a, ah well we can never reach the best of the best.. |

QUOTE(xerox1234 @ Mar 20 2012, 07:11 PM) How much does the cat5e cable cost by meter? N how u guys plan for the unifi fibre cabling ? Plz advise as I need to Reno soon with the appropriate design. Thanks a lot You can't pull fiber, you can only prepare empty conduit, and try not to have 90deg bending in the conduit. Put in cable puller in the empty conduit, so when the installer come over they will tap from the cable puller and pull out from another end. This is how I did, and all the way to my "server room" |

Unifi is fiber, you can't use the analog phone line you have. You can only distribute the phone via the old phone line.

Not heard of this brand before. For conceal, i usually use what normally use by the cabling guys. I use another brand my friend introduce, is cheaper than AMP, but surely not as cheap as Comway.

AMP too expensive already. I go for 2nd best.
Added on March 21, 2012, 2:30 pm2nd best according to my network cabling friend. There are others that are good too, price range similar. This post has been edited by weikee: Mar 21 2012, 02:30 PM |

QUOTE(xerox1234 @ Mar 22 2012, 03:17 PM) Yup, my friend also recommended to use Dintek, wisely use in the market. RM265 for 300m. if top up rm65 can get Cat6 Prolink If you feel prolink is good than is ok. Personally, i will use things that have been proven. Dintek is use by many cable guys I know. They usually use Dintek if client don't want AMP. |

QUOTE(Gnomeo @ Jan 20 2013, 12:15 PM) I wonder why you say that you can't pull fiber ? Sure you can pull no one stopping. you know is the fiber used a multi mode?or single mode? Will the authorised Contractor use the fiber you lay? Same spec? When I apply, I ask the authorised Contractor to come over, but they only want to do it after Renovation complete. I ask them if I pull will they use the fiber I prepare. Their reply only if the fiber is endorsed by unifi. Furthermore is free installation why waste the money to pull it first? My conceal conduit are free from Contractor. This post has been edited by weikee: Jan 20 2013, 04:26 PM |

QUOTE(Gnomeo @ Jan 21 2013, 08:51 PM) Today, I spent some time to check and I believe you are right, pulling empty conduits seems to be the best way to go. At least up to the fiber modem/routeur (I believe it is a fiber modem with built-in Wifi Router ?). For landed property the unifi are as follow "based on my knowledge"Basically you have a 1st conduit from your access point (ONT) up to the fiber-Modem wifi/router. Since there is a Wifi network, it is better to choose a central location if you have a large house/condo. In this conduit, Astro will pull a fiber cable. Then you need X (1 per TV with a max 2/modem) other conduits between Modem and STB (which connect to TV). Astro should pull CAT5 cables in those conduits. Then you can also add X (1 per PC/MAC with wired connection) conduits with/without Cat5 or Cat6 in it from Modem to RJ45 plug in each room where U want a wired access. Astro offer a certain allowance of Cat5 & Fiber cables so if you have too many conduits, you may have to pay extra. Do you know how much connections this modem support ? I suppose that the phone is wireless directly from modem (or is it wired ?) ? Am I correct ? 01) (External Cable) -> (Small white Box 'usually just outside the house') -> (NTU) 02) From (NTU) split into two devices. (via Cat3 - Phone) and (Via Cat-5e D-Link modem) 03) (Phone) is analog signal need cable 04) (D-Link modem) will have (wifi), Lan, and another connection to (unifi TV Decoder 'via Cat 5e') 05) (unifi TV Decoder) -> TV So you TV area is best to have 2 LAN points (minimal) one for your unifi, another for your tv / media player. |

QUOTE(Gnomeo @ Jan 22 2013, 09:11 AM) Thanks, actually I was referring to an Astro IPTV installation for condos but I see there are a few differences... I need to double check for the phone wired or wireless. Yes, even for uniFi for highrise, they may use VDSL (aka VHDSL), and is copper not fiber. |
