Please log in for more thread options I have the following signals entering my home: - Analog Telephone Line - TV Cable - Internet via TV Cable provider. A classical problem - how to distribute the signals to the rooms. Classical approach: run wires to rooms, separately for all above: - 2-wire for phones - UTP from the Internet router, for connecting computers in the rooms - Coaxial cables for TV's in the rooms. A question: Is there a commercial solution that would let one run a fiber cable around the house / apartment, and drop lines in the rooms with some adaptation for phones, computers and TV's? | ||||||||||||||||

If anything goes wrong with your single fiber optic (or any media except wireless for that matter) cable, you loose all your services at the same time. This would be a disaster. In any case, the applications you are talking about have very different transmission media requirements and, although there are converters out there between fiber and their 'native' media, using the 'native' media is always less expensive and less complex, which is important in residential environment. Additionally, your phones usually need to be powered and dielectric fiber isn't going to work for power. As all the applications you've mentioned are converging into Everything-over-IP these days, all the disparate media may eventually come down to the one that's supporting Ethernet (either fiber or copper). However in this case you still need to pull individual cables to your devices because this is what conventional Ethernet topology requires anyways. ------------------------------------- -- Dmitri Abaimov, RCDD http://www.cabling-design.com Cabling Forum, color codes, pinouts and other useful resources for premises cabling users and pros http://www.cabling-design.com/homecabling Residential Cabling Guide -- ##-----------------------------------------------## Article posted with Cabling-Design.com Newsgroup Archive http://www.cabling-design.com/forums no-spam Web and RSS interface to your favorite newsgroup - comp.dcom.cabling - 2454 messages and counting! ##-----------------------------------------------## | ||||||||||||||||

Yes, but at prices that would make a millionaire think twice. At least
