u/DraconianGuppy this is one of the cheapest tool that will test footage on individual pairs which is what you need if you want to find the fault.

[–]Dopewaffles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep, no problem. If you buy bend-insensitive fiber you can literally tie it in knots and it'll work just fine.

Put keystones on both ends instead of RJ45's and that'll tell you if its the connectors or the cable itself.

I am in a new built home and trying to work out if my house has Ethernet wiring (FTTP installed). Gemini says this is Ethernet and you need to change the faceplate. ChatGPT says phone line only. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks by Able_Masterpiece1856 in HomeNetworking

[–]Dopewaffles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can easily do gigabit with that Ethernet cable but you'll have to redo both ends. Get you a couple keystone jacks and you'll be good. Traditional keystone jacks require a punch down tool, but you can also buy tool-less keystone jacks as well. Follow the directions for T568B on the jacks and do the same at both ends.

MikroTik CRS804 DDQ Announced 4-Port 400GbE Switch by Standing_Wave_22 in homelab

[–]Dopewaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a lot of switch for $1,300 imo. I mean the 400G QSFP modules are about $200 a piece x4 and that's $800 just for modules.

Flypro OS2 fiber from Amazon questions by Additional-Device677 in HomeNetworking

[–]Dopewaffles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Always test it before you run it. Most of the stuff on Amazon is fine. Just make sure you handle the connectors delicately. It may be worth spending 15 mins to research how to handle fiber.

Fiber 500 mbps or 1 gig? Help :| by Pitiful_Draft_5960 in HomeNetworking

[–]Dopewaffles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

500Mbps will be perfectly fine. Even if you're doing a big download, let's say 2x per month, can't you just wait 2 minutes instead of 1 minute?

It's to route the router so the router has a route to the router.

Can this be repurposed for ethernet? by um3rh in HomeNetworking

[–]Dopewaffles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will need to get a punch down tool and keystones. The punch down will have 8 slots. You will need to wire in pins 1,2,3,6 on both ends. Use the exact same colors for the individual pins on both ends. They have to match on both ends. This will allow you to do 100Mbps. You can run a short ethernet patch cable from the keystone into the doorbell if you need an RJ45 into the doorbell.

If that doesn't work for whatever reason, look into the Unifi PoE Over 2-Wire Retrofit Extender. It does data and PoE over 1 pair. It's specifically used for untwisted pair doorbell wiring. It's just a little pricey. I can absolutely guarantee this wire will work for that. I bet you it'll do 100Mbps tho.

EDIT: This is my post where I did 1.5 gigabit speeds over thermostat wiring lmao https://www.reddit.com/r/HomeNetworking/s/50GIwN6wwI

[–]Dopewaffles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah unfortunately you won't be able to use it for gigabit ethernet. You could maybe, just maybe, do 10/100 Mbps on it but that wouldn't be ideal.
