- Potentially the final part to this series, finally move everything over and tidy up the cabling!
Have a look at the UXG-Pro, USW-Aggregation, USW-Pro, Fiber, Sonos, PowerView, Hue, ZigBee and ZWave.
Hell Yeah, Made my monday. Adding cable trays overtop towards the end would tidy it up nicely
Yeah I looked for those, and found surprisingly hard to find (or expensive), any suggestions?
Great job 👍🏼 excited to hear about the HDMI over Ethernet
What would you like to know? Want to make sure I cover all questions
@@JenxTech what system are you running, how many outputs/TVs, roughly how long are the cable runs, what resolution do they support, remote control extender functionality? 🤓 just the common stuff.
I am interested too ! Thanks for the videos ;-)
I'm looking forward to part 4 !
Haha, not sure there is a Pt4. Maybe once I finally add the gaming rigs and more IoT stuff.
Definatley looking forward to the Video of how to Spec out a house when building from the ground up and maybe a bit on retrofitting. You have no idea how hard it is in my current 1908 built two story brick with finished basement. AP's everywhere and lots of holes in my exterior wall to get CAT6 to where it's needed.
Yea I’ve been using my existing phone lines and terminating to rj45 and got two more lines to do. I’m gonna use an external outdoor box to house an enterprise small PoE switch and send the power to it from one of my inside switches.
USW-EnterpriseXG-24 is 10GbE and USW-Enterprise-24-PoE is 2.5GbE
good cable mgt, lots of iot stuff, think about opnsense HA and then you can run more and faster fiber, wifi7 may serve to help out with regard to getting bandwidth everywhere - it is almost here and could be a good upgrade for you, people should run a lot of cat7 when building a house and avoid wifi - although both is nice - good to have options - think about a low power 3 node cluster to add to server - no switch needed
Yeah I keep thinking about OpenSense/pfSense, reality is I have many more things to do than manage a network 😆.
WiFi 7 is really far out, barely have any 6E devices as it is. But in due time. All the cables installer ran are CAT6 I run 6E at minimum. The installer wouldn't even quote me for CAT7, that was 3 years ago admittidly, but still we've had CAT7 for a while.
Yeah will probably do some form of small NUC based cluster instead of the massive unraid server, it was hardware I had lying around so made sense at the time.
What’s the speed bump for cat 7 vs cat 6.
Very Nice video and super nice network! Thank you 4 sharing your network setup and I look forward to more videos of this sort! Cheers!!!
Thank you! Appreciate the nice words!
Looks Very good. I am wondering though if those cables at 11:55 need some shielding - I've seen somebody on youtube have audio interference 3 years later, after an antenna was installed in the area.
Good call out, hopefully not, but it's not impossible as they want to install water towers near by which will probably end up with cell towers on them
Thanks for the 3 network rack videos. One suggestion: lose the music. It is exhausting to pay attention to your words while trying to tune out the annoying "music". 😄
Yeah, it's tricky, videos with music perform better (go figure...), I can for sure find something better and probably knock it down a few more db so it's really only between dead air (which I do try to edit out). If you have any suggestions for more neutral license free music I'm all ears!
Thanks, enjoyed this! Can you tell something about the heat that your racks are generating and cooling?
Really good question, little heat at the moment, once I add two more gaming machines that will change.
I have some ideas/plans in the future, but the basement is a conditioned space so nicely heats the house in the winter and gets cooled by AC in the summer (although below grade stays fairly cool anyway)
Zip ties!!!! That is a no-no. Enterprise is 2.5gbps. Why XG not Dream Machine? Better choice in my opinion for most people.
Zip ties or cable ties :P Yeah I know it's a pain to change, but to be honest it will stay like that for a few years, then will get redone when the basement gets reconfigured, not a big deal for me, 100% if this was a DC or Ent install, would use something else for sure.
Dream Machine didn't make sense here, already have a UNVR have 10+ cameras, I also run the controller in the cloud so I can run a few different sites from a central location, but yes less cameras and only my house then would make way more sense
UniFi USW-EnterpriseXG-24 has 12 x 2.5gbit poe ports on it as well as 12 x 1gbit poe and 2 x sfp+ ports for uplink. unfortunately the price is... painful lol
I wanted to do this at my place but I went with omada because unify is to expensive my entire omada experience was cheaper than the udm pro se alone and my access points have multi gigabit wifi
Ahh good to know. Yeah anything more than 1Gb from unifi is still really expensive. Which I find interesting as they already make a killing on that prosumer space. Not sure why they haven't gotten cheaper 2.5 and 10 Gb switches
@@JenxTech I am looking at 10 GB switches now for when I go back home to Japan and retire. I am going to do a UA-cam video on this because anything 10GB plus is a whole another animal. I am looking at going aoc instead of dac and may end up going that route when I go back home 3 years. The place I have in the country has 10gb symmetrical from Kddi and I am wiring it up in 2 years and trying to figure out if I should do aoc or cat 8. they are going to gut the place next year and I have to figure out the best way to get 10gb to 3 bedrooms. Plus, main area and design a networking area to place a 48u rack.
@@pachjo123 cool. These days knowing that fiber is so cheap I would run a couple of fiber (Incase you want to do DVI or similar) then CAT7. Maybe I'll eat my words in the future, but CAT6 does 10G pretty happily. So future proofing with 6E or 7 seems sensible to me at least for clients. Back haul/trunks after using fiber, don't think I'll ever go back.
Can you do a layout map of your setup?
You mean where the cables go in the house or how the mechanical room is configured?
