Discussing network routing options: fiber versus Ethernet.
Discussing network routing options: fiber versus Ethernet.
Hello. You're considering setting up a network connection between your home modem and an office about 50 meters away. Since you already have some conduit with a high-voltage power line, you're thinking of using fiber optic cables instead of Ethernet to avoid interference. Converters at both ends would allow the signals to be converted back to gigabit Ethernet. Your idea is sound—just make sure to plan for proper shielding and routing to maintain performance. Let me know if you need more details! Cheers!
Review your regional electrical and safety guidelines. You may not be permitted to place additional cables inside high-voltage conduits. Personally, I would avoid that too. Consider installing a new conduit, routing it overhead, or using alternative methods. Putting optical or Ethernet cables near power lines is simply too risky.
