QUOTE(omega5475 @ Dec 27 2019, 01:23 PM) Well, maybe some info would help? 1. How many floors? 2. Distance from your IT rack? 3. Budget? 4. Considered mesh wifi or powerline? 5. Number of data points? By the way, "best and for the future" is very vague. Do you want the most expensive stuff or most high tech equipment available in market? Without knowing much about your house and your requirement, don't expect to get a good recommendation from people. 1. 3 floor 2. Will put my rack at ground floor. 3. resonable (cat6a can list for how many year?) 4. planning pulling the cable to extend the wifi signal also each room it have dedicated lan 5. i think around 8-10

QUOTE(heidarren @ Dec 29 2019, 10:51 PM) Dintek is not bad, the link which u attached is 23AWG cable, good spec, it can even run 10G in short distance, and good for PoE too. And don’t forget about the connector, many reno sifu will only use cat5 connectors, it’s better u get cat6 connectors for them to install as well the short distance is under 100m?

QUOTE(satanhead2003 @ Jan 4 2020, 10:57 PM) Go with the suggestion, 2 port per room/termination point. If planning to upgrade to 10gb, then use cat6a. Go for branded cable, Dintek, Plenum, Hubell. Less headache next time. ok thx This is my network setup and equipment. Everything Ok? Or can make it better? Please gv some comment/suggestion.

QUOTE(taqu @ Jan 5 2020, 09:59 AM) I assume there is a machine to run Unifi controller app. A Raspberry Pi will do. I also assume the 3 UAPs are going to be ceiling-mounted. If you want DPI on your network, you need USG over Mikrotik Hex. Looks good to me. The Unifi is not the controller app is TM Unifi.

How about this cat6 utp cable? https://www.dintek.com.tw/index.php/powerma...-pvc-cable.htmltheir description said "Cable has been tested over 500Mhz and has shown performance testing results allowing 10Gbit Ethernet transmission up to a length of 70mtrs" So it can run up to 10Gb in 70meter?
