The standard installation will provide the black armored cable directly from the FDP white box on the telephone pole to your fibre modem. The last time I chose to route it from the ceiling down to the room where my modem is installed, they charged me RM100 just to climb up the rood pull up my roof tiles and pull the cable through the ceiling tied with a stick. That also they didn't provide any FWS box which costs less than RM10 with coupler for me.
If you want to prepare for the standard installation, just buy
the FWS box find a nice one, usually a
SC-SC PC-type(blue)/APC(green for some TIME installations) coupler and your
desired patch cord cable to hook up your modem with the FWS box. You can get them all including delivery for less than RM20.
A 2-5M length patch cord(yellow with blue connector head) with fusion spliced SC-SC PC connector is more than enough since the FWS is usually placed nearby fibre modem(ONT).
Lookup the items I posted with the initial post of this thread.
Yes i want it to route it from the ceiling and down to the living room where my modem currently is.
May I know why FWS box is important? Is it because easy for maintenance?
Sry I'm not familiar with it not sure what is the usage.
How to actually define a nice FWS box?
The patch cord cable is it connect to TM BTU? and BTU connect to router?
thx for your sharing.
