Can always reroute your internal LAN cable if u want to change router's location, but nowadays there are many gadgets like homeplug, repeater to widen the wifi coverage.

My new home also have the green distribution point on the ground, and house developer preinstalled fiber cable + Fiber Wall Socket (FWS) in the living room. No outdoor Fiber Termination Box (FTB) given. This is expected since fiber cable all buried underground till the living room, no need for fiber cable to go up the wall.

I am installing for my old home. Fiber cable will come from the Fiber Termination Point on the pole along the lorong behind my house.

If they pull the black outdoor fiber cable into the house, they got to remove the metal wire that support the cable right (for indoor use)? Cause i remember the metal wire that prevent the cable from excessive bending/ breaking is quite stiff.

And BTW, if the fiber cable break (indoor or outdoor due to rat, fox that walk on cable), whos responsible for the repair? TM or me?

If I am not mistaken, the black outdoor fiber will reach the first wall only.
They can drill a hole on that wall and terminate it on a FWS on the inside of that wall.
From this TM FWS to your preinstalled FWS, it will be the indoor fiber cable.
TM got provide one indoor fiber cable. Not sure what is the length. (7 or 8 m).
I changed mine.

If the outdoor fiber spoilt, TM responsible to repair it.
If the indoor fiber spoilt, then we have to change it ourselves.

But most installers will try all means to charge u unless it is a simple setup with all equipment placed at the same location. Print out a copy of the installation guide n show it to the installer upon dispute.

ya thats why im making sure they dont get any chance to charge me for extra installation.

OK. That means I am in the right track.
One year ago, they don't provide the FTB outside the house.
The outdoor fiber cable (black colour) goes straight into the house and terminate in the FWS.

Looking at the FTB and the FWS, both function the same.
Outdoor fiber goes into the box and indoor fiber cable goes out to the BTU.

Ya, TM get to save lot of $$ by removing that. vmad.gif

yup, break one point on the cable = replace entire length from FWS to fiber termination point (on pole or ground), which means have to dig again if u have underground fiber cable. cry.gif $$$

Unless they can do fiber splicing or something to save the cable.

When you change router location, it is only from BTU to router LAN cable need to change. Nothing to do with the FTB or the FWS.

ya, that's why when choosing the place to install the fibre point inside is important, since it is not easy to move, even move also cannot avoid extra charges.

good to put in living room in most cases.

BTU to connect to wifi router, also need cable sia. u mean to lay the LAN cable from BTU in living to connect all the way to the wifi router putting upstair?

that one also requires a lot of work if u need to conceal the thing. cannot be having the cable seen all over the place rite?

now i am talking about changing the fibre point at home le. means the location of BTU.

You mentioned router relocation to another place, BTU not mentioned. sad.gif
If you want to move the BTU, even with the FTB outside the house, you have to lay the fiber cable again from the FTB to the BTU.
Same if you have the FWS only. You have to lay the fiber cable from the FWS to the BTU new location.

Really? Do you mean some of the installer use FWS to replace the FTB? (So there will be 2 FWS?) Any charges for that?

Since now there will be only 1 single long fiber cable running from Fiber termination box outside (on the pole/ ground) all the way to the FWS, if the internal one breaks, do we have to pay for the whole length for replacement (since they are one long cable?) Not sure how they will calculate in this case... sweat.gif sweat.gif

There is only one FWS.
From the FWS, the indoor fiber cable goes straight to the BTU port.
Why need another FWS?

FWS is acting as the junction box.
From the pole, the black outdoor fiber cable goes into the FWS.
From the FWS, indoor fiber cable goes directly to the BTU port.

Outdoor cable rosak, call TM.
Indoor cable rosak, pay from own pocket.
