I set up a version of this kind of connection like this at our house. To avoid running up to two dozen network cables to the basement from three floors. We have three above ground floors and a basement. We created a wiring conduit using aligned cupboards floor to floor with 4" PVC conduit with breakout T-fittings on the pipe on each floor. On each above ground floor, I used 4-port MikrotTik switches ( MikroTik - CRS305-1G-4S+in - CRS305-1G-4S+in) on each floor of the house to extend fiber optic backbone floor to floor. I run all the floor jacks into a larger switch (16-port) on each floor that then connects to this little beauty and get 10Gb connection floor to floor and 1Gb connections to the jack. Im using a SC/APC single mode fiber cable to accomplish the connection. This means I can run one cable floor to floor instead of 20 (10 from each floor). and one fiber into the basement switch which is a larger MikroTik CSS326-24G-2S+RM 24 port Gigabit Ethernet switch with two SFP+ ports. The four-port switch can handle four fiber connections. I used one of the SFP+ connections on the basement switch to connect my QNAP NAS in the basement using a copper DAC direct attachment cable. The NAS supports 10Gb connections through a Cat 6 cable. the GBIC on the switch breaks out to a standard cat 6 network cable instead of fiber. The MikroTik switches are only $250 each. Making it very affordable for a residential configuration.
Thank you professor appreciated what you have demonstrated very informative. Can you do a video on a TP-link POE L2 switch TG2600G 28mps (TL-SG3424P) showing configuration connecting a TP link indoor wireless access point.
Hello Prof Silva. I appreciate your videos. I have a question. I have: -two TP-Link TL SG108E switches -two TP-Link MC220L media converters -two Fiber Transceivers -one NETGEAR Nighthawk XR1000 Router -two TP-Link Deco X68 which will create a wifi mesh network for cell phones Problem: I have a Starlink in one building and multiple PCs in a seperate building. The buildings are 300 feet apart. We must use a fiber optic cable to traverse this distance. Goal: create a network that consists of the starlink, PCs, cell phones. Fiber optic cables must be used to connect both buildings which are 300 ft apart. How would I do this with the above equipment. Actually, a better question would be what is the optimal setup, in your opinion?
This may be a stupid question, but I'm assuming that there will be fiber ran to the executive floor, which will be plugged into that same sfp port on the switch, correct? Your example with the fiber patch cable was just to demonstrate how the connection works.
Excellent Video Mr.Silva.... I am planning to wire our old building with fiber.We signed up for AT&T Dedicated Fiber Internet and need to feed around 20 -25 wall plates jacks for VOIP phones Some rooms are close by but some are 30 floors up What would you recommend in terms of switches, cables and set up maybe there are newer models of switches and GBIC's now in 2020.
An older video… but I am confused. 4th floor to 17th floor. That should be 13 floors, at an average of 10 feet per floor, should be 130 feet, plus 20 feet for Kentucky windage (😊) giving 150 feet total. You then state that since copper has a max length of 330 feet, that you can’t use copper because ‘the cable will be too long’. 🧐
Great video. Simple and easy to understand. Thank you👍.

Well done so helpful

I want to splice the fiber to a splitter is it possible

🧐
did u have to run the fiber from 17th floor to that switch coz the cable looked short
How or where do i get this type of your Network Rack, Thank you for the video
Can media converters only able to connect two switches or can a PC be connected to the ethernet output directly?
You can connect a PC in theory yes.
FYI: I know this video is 3 years old, However, all the Equipment he shows you he used is now DISCONTINUED by the Manufacturer.
Hello sir ji can you please help me
? What media covers the distance to Exec suite, thought that was whole reason for video?
