Network Two Buildings with Fiber Optic Cable

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Need to extend your network to another building? Using Fiber Optic cabling is a simple and reasonably-priced method for extending the Local Area Network to another building. And, it's a task is something that an intermediately experience IT professional should be able to handle.
Using Fiber Optic components is the most reliable way for those who want to extend my network into another building on property. Especially when those two structures are too far for copper Ethernet cabling (the limit is 100 meters or 330 feet).
Many considerations and careful planning need to be done ahead of time. One of the biggest hurdles is getting the cable across the outdoor span either by underground (conduit) or via aerial cable. Each method has pros and cons. I would say the aerial method is slightly less labor intensive than going the underground method. Depending on the length, digging an underground trench can a very big job. But, does come with the benefit of being more protected from nature elements.
Also, special thanks to t Datacom's Cables.com for the configurator shared in the video - excellent place to get custom cables made.

    Thanks Bogeyman !!! I have looked a Patreon. My hesitation is that I would lose my audience reach (how would people find me). Maybe I just haven't researched it well enough. Maybe I will float the idea as a poll on my community discussion page next week and see what the viewers say. Appreciate your Patreonage! (Yes, pun). 😆😆😆

    Network Advisor The gist of it is that you can set up a tiering structure where you offer extra’s outside your public KZread account (q&a, answer patreon subscriber questions, let patreon subscribers decide the topic on your next video, giveaways, etc, etc.) or you let the patreon subscriber decide what amount they want to pledge to you (preffered way for me, fellow networking KZreadr ‘FiberNinja’ does this also). You don’t have to do anything else and can use your KZread channel the way you have done previously. People who are willing can support you this way and it hopefully ramps up your video uploads so we can enjoy more of it. Alternatively you can setup PayPal to do the same. To clarify: people don’t have to find you and it doesn’t require you to stop or migrate anything from KZread. Starting to sound like a sales rep here, but I just want to support you and others in the networking field on KZread to create more content like this.

    ok wow... so first I want to thank you for the free consulting on Patreon. Probably would have taken me hours to figure that out. (or months of trial/error). Second, please call me "Steve" if you prefer. So, let me think about that. I want to be careful with how I expand because unfortunately YT is not my day job so I can only spend about 3-6 hours per week on it (for now). And the catch 22 is that if I did get so successful at YT (or Patreon) that I could quit my day job, I would lose the very vehicle that provides me all the field knowledge that my audience values! i.e. throwing trash in the dry wall. ;-) (inside joke from this one kzread.info/dash/bejne/pa6JmY-Gd8TLmdo.html) So, let me mull that over. I have agree that YT ad revenue is a poor way to be compensated for all the effort that goes into delivering content. Great conversation! Much appreciated!

    A small suggestion. When running any aerial cabling, always apply a weather drip before entering a building. This is essentially a 'U' shaped bend so water flows away from the building. Also the wire suspension solution is technically know as a catenary wire solution. Good video by the way 👍🏻.

    Steel cable between buildings is a fantastic lightning rod. Even assuming the method is correct, why not re-use the existing wire strand instead of adding more clutter. In any case, wireless bridging is far better to use with currently available devices. Not as fast, no, but full gigabit speed is not required for most workshops I would say.

    Right? The nature of fiber optics is that the light is stuck in the core. If follows the core wherever it goes (even in circles).

Hope that helps. ☺

    Its a very helpful video. I have some questions regarding my personal house-office project. My House and Office is around 100m distance. I had earlier installed CAT6 to have a personal LAN between both premises. However, I observed that the accessing speed is very slow. Example, my usual application from another computer would have more than 5 mins to access it as compared to 10 secs when in shorter distance. I assume, there is loss of data in CAT6 due to larger distance between premises. Therefore, I have planned to replace CAT6 with Fibre Optics. - Which type of Fibre Optics would you suggest? (Single Mode or Multi Mode). Additionally, which specific type optic in each category would you recommend me. ( LX or OM1, 2, 3 or 4) - Could you also suggest me which type of end to select on the fibre optics while ordering custom optics? I really appreciate your video and your help to me.

    They male a cable called "ADSS" All dielectric Self Supporting cable that does not need steel strand built, it uses attachments directly to the sheathing of the cable. Also per fire building code, make sure your using proper indoor cable.(plenum or Riser rated) this reduces toxic fumes in a cable jacket when on fire.

    Hi, this is the most useful Video ive found, principally because i am at the level of the small toy cars. Can anyone answer this please? Ok I have a simple question please: So if build this set up explained above, exactly.( I am building a 300sq meter workshop and want to link many things from the workshop to my house linked by underground conduit) Will this link export/ send all the following: web cams, temp sensors and fire alarms etc (lets say 10 different items) through a switch panel, then the port /fiber link, back to my house the other end of the fiber link? What is the best way to do it. Fiber will arrive at my house, Then be relayed to the workshop through the cat 6 Rj45. thanks in advance.

    Short and simple answer is that if all those devices and applications you described use Ethernet TCP/IP protocol to transfer information then YES, that single fiber topology will work. The longer and more complex answer is you might need to segment your LAN (create vlans) to shape the flow of Ethernet traffic as you might run into bottlenecks.

Now for budget sake me getting a "switch" that next to the "Modem or Router" get 100-meter cables and use "repeaters" until it connects to my equipment? This just to help me through a 3-day event. Someday I get fibre for future events but I need to get past this event in the mean time.

    @@NetworkAdvisor Thank you for the reply! I will look into it and if I have any more questions I'll be sure to ask you. Im thinking about running a Fiber optics cable from my house to the office. Its about 5m apart, but it would need at least a 30m Fiber optics cable to run through the walls. It previously had ethernet going to it, but the cable was unfortunately destroyed around a year ago, while they were constructing something. Since then I've had a wireless connection to the office and I have really bad speeds there (around 10Mbps) which isn't too good since the house has 1Gbit, becuse of that im thinking of running a Fiber Optic to it to get the maximum of my internet speed to there.

Except one flashlight is Ultra-violet and the other is infra-red. Excellent observation! :-D

I'm not enough of an authority to answer that, but I would have to take the obvious guess that the switch with the fibre module built-in would have to be a little faster. Maybe someone else who knows more can chime in here. Great Question! :)

    Yes if you use a switch with a big backplane. But is more interesting how stacked the network and how much traffic between this points where do you use the fiber cable. But technical is a bridge a switch with two ports how change the cable only e.g. copper2fiber. If do you want change parts of the big network so you can do it mostly cheaper and easier if the parts are smaller ...

    Allison, fibre-optic cable comes in two “modes”. Multi-mode and single-mode. Multi-mode is for short distances like within a building or within a server room. Single-mode is for long distance (up to 10km or more). I would consult with a knowledgeable sales rep when making your purchase. Good luck! 😀

    hi Don. Unless I'm not understanding your question, all you need is a two-strand fiber - one for transmit and one for receive. What is probably a more relavant question is "how far?". That would determine whether you can get buy with Multi-mode (short distance) or Single-mode (long distance). If you're getting ready to make an investment, i would either consult someone local. Or, spend more time researching it. Another idea is to call a supply house who sells Fiber (like Graybar or Alltel) and see if you can get a knowledgable sale rep willing to give you some free advice. :-)
