I need advice. We are planning to install fiber this summer connecting all
buildings and then phase in twisted pair (cat 5) in the residence halls over
the next two years. The piece I am unsure about is infrastructure for video.
1. If you were about to wire the residence halls, would you also
simultaneously pull coax for video? Would you recommend the special cable that
contains coax and twisted pair within a single sheath?
2. Are there folks running fiber to the desktop in the residence
halls even if the fiber is kept dark? I ask this because I am seeing cost
estimates for fiber drops reaching parity with twisted pair drops.
Thanks.
