  WOW.. What a great, concise 30000Ft view of cabling in 2024. &nbsp;Thank you for the effort you made into putting this together... You managed to shed some light for me on fiber that I was unaware of. &nbsp;I guess SMF is the way to go...

  When is the optical cable coming out that can also power the equipment it is connected to?

  I just got done running a 8 strand bundle of single mode from my basement to attic so I can connect two halves of my network (upstairs and downstairs). My bigger deciding factor was being able to later switch to BiDi transceivers.

  While theoretically cat 8 can run 40G base-t ethernet. I am pretty sure, and i have looked recently, that there is no equipment on the market that can run this, and there is also no published roadmap of any company to produce such equipment.<br><br>Also note that single mode and multimode fibre have both been around for decades, the difference is in the expense on the optics for them, not really the type of fibre.

  I&apos;m still a big copper fan, both because it&apos;s cheap (cable and rj45 hardware like switches), and the PoE. Probably because I&apos;m a lazy homeowner and running power to new areas of the house is a time cost (and financial cost if I get the work inspected as you should). I&apos;m actually thinking of using outdoor rated cat6 to run two or three 60W PoE lines to my shed so I can run a wireless AP, camera, and I&apos;m thinking some LED lighting with PoE to DC power adapters. <br><br>Fiber is cool and I look forward to playing with it more, but for home use it&apos;s copper all the way for me.

  the one thing you should have touched on is the SFP+ modules and how to know which ones work well in switches of different brands like a peplink sd switch cisco switch and unifi switches or ubiqicty &nbsp;as well can you touch on this people don&apos;t give good advice on the sfp+ modules I don&apos;t like changing the auto config to manual just for sfp+ to work right
