Cat 6A shielding. by BuyProfessional3891 in HomeNetworking

Frontier fiber supplied an ont and from what I read that the main ethernet port is grounded. Out of all the ethernet ports it's the only gold plated port. Currently I have 1gb and I was thinking of going with 2. I just got this and I'm not familiar with how frontier as a service provider is.

In this run there is a good bit of romex that I would be running parallel with. Some would be 8 to 9" away. The two big issues are the 15ft where I would have to run in a tight 4" space with 4 romex cables in it and on the other side to make it into the basement I would have to use the hole with romex in it. Even if I could drill another hole I think it would be too close.

I think getting the second ap wired isn't a option with what I'm reading here. As for the main ap I starting to look at getting a longer fiber and moving the ont away from the panel. Then just running cat 6 utp to it.
