      Can you give some more details about which wires you would run? Is cat 6 good enough for the future, or is there something better?

          Do these cables last like 20 years?

          Is it not ok to just run some kind of Ethernet cables to keep costs down? I’m assuming fiber is pricey.

              Sorry, I hope I’m not asking too many questions.

              It’s just that my wife and I have been talking about a house and I’d like to learn more about this as I’d have the builders run the lines.

              I’ve never really worked with fiber before. Is this the idea for wireless relays that accept fiber as input? Would I also need to run some Ethernet cable to connect my laptop or desktop without using wifi?
