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"

Can I assume that the conduit is from the telephone box at the back to the dedicated place (server room)? Besides, if we able to use back the existing telephone lines since I have 3 phone points. If yes, what will be the design?

Should I just put the unifi modem next to telephone box with hanging rack. Outlet phone line from the modem to connect to the existing phone line, will it work?

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

Yes, that's what I mean. I am planning to it smile.gif Hopefully the electrician wont mess up my lines.

You did not buy when you buy the switch? I brought together with the switches. Forgot how much but sure more expensive than what your contractor quote. At least got brand.

Prolink 305M for RM195 for CAt5 and RM330 for Cat6. Worth it? Anyone use Prolink before ?

Never use this before so no comment, but price is sure cheap. I just remember, mine is Dintek.

Yup, my friend also recommended to use Dintek, wisely use in the market. RM265 for 300m. if top up rm65 can get Cat6 Prolink smile.gif
