> I feel like we have moved into the era now where if you were putting cabling in the walls for networking you should be choosing fibre now.

How many consumer devices have an ((Q)SFP(+)) optical cage?

If you're in their pulling stuff anyway, sure, do some OS2, but for most people, for most devices, Cat 5e/6 is more useful, especially since you can do POE(+(+)) over it as well. 5e/6 gets you 10GbE to 55m, and 6A to 100m.

Personally, if I was building a house, anywhere I want significant non wifi hardware would have a switch anyway.

In my house, I've got a switch at tvs with multiple devices.

One place with two desktops has a switch, although when I finish up some stuff, I'm going to reterminate the phone line that's there as rj45 so both desktops can get 2.5G to my 2.5G switch. Could be sfp+, but they're mini-itx.

The kitchen desktop has its own 2.5G port; the printer next to it is on wifi because I don't want to buy a 2.5g capable switch for them to share. Mini-itx again

My work desktop has 10g-baseT.

Fiber would work for all of that, I guess.

But then I have a tv with just one device on 100base-TX. And the access points don't have spf, and aren't near other equipment.
