ONT extension DC power cable and Fibre cable used

[#1]

@shutter 

Thanks, in the past I have had to use various methods for running cables in the strangest of places, the most interesting was at the top of  a mast of the Esso York Oil Tanker many years ago.

I appearing to be suffering from QRM so I'll wait until it goes away!

So to end this thread with a fix for me 🙂

I bought 

CDL Micro 5m DC Jack 5.5mm x 2.1mm Power Male to Female M-F Extension Cable for CCTV 

Reulin Ultra-Thin, Ethernet Cable, 4M-Black, High-Speed Internet Lan Wire Cat6 

11 x 11 mm cable trunking.

The Fibre cable came to the house direct from the chamber adjacent to my property to the CSP then to the ONT.

After checking the cable run it appears the Openreach engineer chased out a very small amount of cement from the corner brickwork, no more than was required to allow for the turning circle. I think some mentioned doing that but I don't recall who.

ONT, the trunking runs on top of the skirting board up the side of the door frame to the shelf above the door, where the router lives with my two NAS drives and VPN servers.

So I now have a 150 / 30 connection compared to 72 / 15

We decided to drop the landline service.

That'd be your so-called QRM.

I am finding this is a fascinating thread. I think I need to get out more.
