A fat bitch, if I had to guess. Which would then require an arse whipping in response.

hats a pretty compelling price point. i wonder if 100' is enough? these say rated for outdoor..would they work inside walls as well? i can't imagine why not.

so it sounds like it wouldnt hurt anything to pull 4 fiber lines (at $30 each a steal!) and i guess just leave the excess wire in a wall panel in the basement server room or something. fiber isn't affected if there's a giant loop right because its...optical right?

cad knows nothing about fiber

Amazon has different lengths, I just gave you can example. Your fiber would go vertical from the server closet up to each other rack/closet.

the only thing i'm not doing is adding fiber inside his walls. maybe i should just run it for now (even if we aren't using it) to each of the 3 'node' rooms and just 'cap it' or whatever it is you do with unconnected fiber so its there for the future.

Fiber is cheap and future proof. If you run Cat6 you still need to pull it from your L1 closet up to each individual closet. You can't daisy chain the switches, technically you can but it is such an elementary way to do networking. You also need conduit or a path from each floor to each closet.

CAD is a smart cookie though, seems like he knows how to use AI pretty well too. Configuring the switch for home use is stupid simple even with no background in the Cisco CLI world.

Could also get it to run through Home Assistant, creating a shitty Catalyst Control Center/DNAC (And DNAC/CCC is already shitty )

Fair point but he fails to realize he will have to manage this network for his friend. He is creating a nightmare.

killer price...but that also destroys the nice single-ux i get with omada right?

And you'll need to know how to configure it with command line. I have Cisco at my house but I know how to set it up. I don't recommend this for you.

tell me more about this..would we need an installer who can 'crimp' fiber connections (for lack of a better term) to terminate it at each level? i take it there's a switch with a bulit-in 'fiber' connector we would purchase?

Amazon has fiber cables ready to go.

I'm buying premium keystones (color coded!) for the patch panels because I want that part to be rock solid.

Yeah don't do that. At Amazon data centers we color code with the patch cable and not the keystone. if you change a port or vlan just change the cable color.

Personally, I'd run all the copper back to the main data closet. There is no way you have a run of over 300 feet.

If you want to keep a data closet on each floor then you'll want a distribution layer switch in your L1 data closet that each Access layer switch will connect to. You'll want two Single mode fiber connections from your first floor closet out to each other closet. You'll want redundancy with this large of setup.

I'd go with Ubiquity for this over TP-link. You would have a Dream machine router, LINK

Then you'll have a distribution layer - Ubiquiti calls their distribution layer an agg switch. LINK

Att Fiber -> Dream machine router -> Agg switch -> Access Switches -> AP's, Camera's and end points.

I can help set this up for you. I've been doing it 30 years.

I voted against it because the school district boundaries matched the city boundaries exactly. And the city boundaries are problematic when you look at how apartment complexes were excluded. If they would grab some swaths of unincorporated EBR and do their part to support those kids with their new wealthy district, I’d say it’s worth a shot. But they won’t, because in the end it’s not only about aligning resources, it’s about excluding certain populations.

This has been the downfall of Zachary! To get the school district they had to take in parts of EBR outside the Zachary city limits. Well, Chauna Banks approved any neighborhood she could and now the district is overrun with kids from outside of Zachary.
