1. Wired whole house using cat 6 cable with each room having 2 lan point.
2. Study room (the room juz next to the living room) will be my router & patch panel location. So all the cables source go to here
3. i will be using SCV maxonline and its digital voice so my cable modem will be in living room and next to a lan point. so i will connect the lan cable fr modem to lan point and in the study room, cable fr lan point to router (in)
4. for the opennet, i will ask my contractor to create a buried conduit above my false ceiling so that the openet fella can directly put its fibre cable in it. Im still deciding where to put the termination point. Hopefully can be near my scv point in the living room but muz go in c c the unit then can decide |
hey silencer, check with you, so all i need to do now is to standby a place near SCV pt for the Termination Box and then ask my contractor to lay an empty conduit (with a draw rope inside) from Main Door thru false ceiling to the Termination box?
I don't need to install the cat 5/6 cables myself now, right? since they are providing 15m free next time?
And i don't need to prepare the patch panel ?..it will be by SingTel, starhub etc right?
And also, the cables from T Box to the rooms will also be laid (thru false ceiling) by the SingTel, starhub etc, right?
Thanks bro! |

yes. decide on the location of the termination box, then lay a hidden conduit w a draw rope in it so opennet fella can use this conduit for the fibre cable
The other things that u mention is done by your contractor or u can DIY yourself, not by Singtel or Starhub. All these things u mentioned are needed if you decide to network your whole house |

Hi,
Wat do u thk if we place the termination box in the DB area? Ive juz spoken to ncs engineering... They told me that at most the contractors will only lay the fibre optics cable in d living area. Now, wat im uncertain is if the termination box needs to be placed beside the TV or not???
Anyone knows?? |
well this question actually you must ask yourself
if you decide to network your whole house, termination point can put near the termination point/panel of your network
However, if you not going to network your whole house, then you need to place this termination point next to a TV or computer cos these 2 are the most likely devices that will make use of this opennet fibre thing in future. |

How do you go about laying the LAN cable to all rooms? If there is no false ceiling, does it have to go in the ugly trunking to be fixed above the floor skirting?
I also read somewhere in the forum that someone has relocated the SCV point to opposite the wall. Can this person share how he/she ran the TV cable across the wall? Does it also have to go in an exposed trunking? |

for laying LAN cable, im doing false ceilings so all these cables will be hidden. If no false ceilings, then maybe hide in trunkings i suppose |

For relocating of the SCV point, my ID shared there's a few ways doing it.
- tap from the existing point on the common wall, run through the top of the living room's window frame and to the other side of the living room. (easiest and cheapest). It will be 90% hidden by the window grills & curtain/curtain rails. The portion of the trunking that appeared at the other side of the living room can be hidden by incorporating featured wall or TV console.
- tap from bedroom's SCV point as all ugly trunking can be hidden into the room (including aircon trunking).
Plus some other alternative...

Hi
just share, I called up OpenNet. They mentioned that the cable that they are connecting from the elec/tel rise to our flat is fibre optical cable. Thus you can blend the cable much. They also mentioned that they are drilling a 5mm near to the main door to connect the cable to inside. |

for opennet, like what mattjoey said, they will drill the 5mm hole near the main door. This is not a problem.
Only problem is inside the house, how u going to run the optic fibre cable.
That is why muz designate a location for the termination point, then tell ur contractor/ID to create a straight (or abit of bending) conduit to this location and hide this conduit using false ceilings. And the conduit muz come w draw robe so that the opennet fella can easily run the fibre cable thru it.
Those not going to do false ceilings one, then u guys can still designate a location for the termination point, and then make sure the hole from the edges of the ceilings fr main door to this location is not block by any in-built carpentry or feature wall. Cos the optic fibre cable can always run along the edge of the ceilings to this location and then u can ask the opennet fella to use trunkings to cover it.
and lastly, if find this opennet too troublesome, can always opt out from the installation since its not compulsory and w/o it, wont cause major problem for net surfing or scv channels.  |

I dont think the bending is too much of an issue. I use fibre at work and always heard that we must coil and cannot bend the cable. But when I recently saw opennet install it in my current house, they just use my SCV trunking and since the cable is thin, it can still curve around 90 degree bends with no problem or worry of bending. |

i know it's a daft question.
if we are going to lay the conduit in the false ceiling, how will OpenNet get to the draw-rope? they'll still have to cut the false ceiling to find it? or should we get the ID's workers to drill a 5-10mm hole above the door now and run the draw-rope all the way through to the designated termination point? |

I have left some removable square holes in each corner of the false ceiling where the conduit ends. It is something like what u see on your bathroom false ceiling but smaller. |

After 2 yrs staying in Pinnacle, I finally switch to Fibre Optics Broadband and taken up Starhub Plan.
The performance is impressive. Finally my laying of structured cat 6 cable in the house pay off :p
test done using wired connection :p |
