John, I was being myopic in my last post. My idea was just to speed things up. But of course by using a POF cable I would be bypassing the electrical wiring in the walls thereby defeating the whole purpose of Powerline. I could of course run a POF cable in the walls but that's a *really* tedious job (I've done it 2 years ago with coax cabling for my TVs). My point is this: I need a 1-on-1 hardware connection (no router overhead, albeit my Technicolor Gateway _is_ fast) and no cable through the house unless _absolutely_ necessary. In the case of POF, the cable being so small and the speed being so great, that would be an very acceptable trade-off. While it's true I could just as well use an Ethernet cable for the job, if I can get near-100% throughput, why would I settle for 70-80% ? Plus it's rather cool to (get) to use fibre as a consumer and not in Datacentre. So I may well get a POF kit (like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wO4YW4xMzYE). No POF switch necessary, just 2 very short Ethernet cables and 2 POF-UTP media converters (included in the kit). By using white or beige the POF cable it would be vitually unnnoticeable. Thanks for your input all the same. x13 --------------= Posted using GrabIt =---------------- ------= Binary Usenet downloading made easy =--------- -= Get GrabIt for free from https://www.shemes.com/ =-
