Ysc3 Twincharged October 17, 2018 Share October 17, 2018 I bought a whole roll of belden cat 6 cable from Sim Lim tower, asked the electrician who was doing my whole place electrical works to lay it along side my power cables when they are installing the electrical points. No extra charge. I bought the wall rj45 jack plates and termination/crimping tools and the cat 6 plugs, I did my own termination, crimping of each points. Learnt it from Internet from scratch.. By end of the renovation, I still have 1/3 of the whole roll of belden cables, just use them to make the many customised length patch cables from my switch to the patch panel. Did not have to buy any cat 6 cables for a very long time. . thks ! will take note. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vratenza Supersonic October 17, 2018 Share October 17, 2018 Took some pictures of my 7-8yr old setup: One of the double rj45 wall jack plates connected with lan cables. My switch and the patch panel from which all the lan cables from the rest of the house terminates. Hope this can give you some idea on what a LAN connected apartment entails. thks ! will take note. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic October 17, 2018 Share October 17, 2018 Need to seek fellow MCFers view on this. I read that Starhub will be terminating the cable TV and migrate to fibre TV in a few years time and in order for fibreTV to work, the TV set and supporting hardwares had to be connected to the termination point (OpenNet) via cables. If my termination point is located at the main door area, does it mean I have to engage technician to relocate the termination point to my living room with drilling thru walls and ugly trunking ? Is it possible for FibreTV to work via WIFI ? Just install everything near the tv in the living room. The junction box, the gateway, the wireless router, the network switch(optional). It's going to be ugly whether you like it or not. The optical fibre cable will come in from outside your apartment from the common telcom door to the junction box. So will your neighbours'. All will branch out from the common telcom door and into their apartments. Junction box will have an "in" and "out". "in" will be the optical cable from outside and "out" is the optical cable going to the gateway. From gateway there will be LAN cable connecting to your wireless router and TV setup box, if you have more dan one setup box you will need a network switch (if you are running LAN cables around your apartment). It make sense you try to put everything on your tv console in your living room and try to hide the wires. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a shock when I saw the messy cables on the console and the fugly trunkings that ran under my Lightboxes... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman888 Moderator October 17, 2018 Share October 17, 2018 I believe those who get free fiber from SH were starhub tv user but not broadband, hence they throw in that since you need fiber to stream starhub tv. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem achieving 1gbps using ethernet. For wifi, the best i could get is 500mbps. A lot of time, it boils down to router and device used. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vratenza Supersonic October 17, 2018 Share October 17, 2018 Quite astute observation. I agree. What happens if the customer say he insist on using his M1 fibre Internet and subscribe to SH Fibre TV?
