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.
