Hello everybody,
my family is currently in the process of renovating, expanding two apartments that we own. As part of this, the electrical cabling will be renewed in the existing part and installed in the expansion.
Since we are not planning to do much renovating once the current measures are complete, we are considering to put in networking cable with the electrical. Given the huge labor cost in Germany (which is where these are located) changing anything in the future will be expensive, since we are not dealing with drywall.
Long story short, I have been wondering what type of networking solution to go for. From what I know, it appears that cat-6 has found its limitations at GbE and that 10GbE isn't going to allow for copper connections. As such I was considering a fiber (or fibre) solution, but I wouldn't even know what to consider? maybe something like "blown fiber"? Install conduit now and then whatever fiber will be "commonplace" when we reach the limitations of GbE?
I'd love to hear your suggestions.
