Background:
With the maturation and popularization of 10G Ethernet technology in the commercial field, the cost of 10G network deployment has been greatly reduced. Because of this, some home users have begun to consider upgrading the previous 1G optical fiber home network to 10G. Next, I will briefly introduce Some typical 10G home fiber networking solutions, I hope it will be useful to you.
Preliminary preparation:
Before the formal deployment of 10G home fiber optic network, you must figure out the following questions:
1. How many computers, printers and other peripheral devices need to be connected to your network?
2. Does the previous 1G connection need to be retained?
3. Where do you want to establish a 10G connection?
4. Do you need to monitor all network devices?
5. Do you want the network equipment to have some special functions?
6. How much range does your wireless WiFi need to cover?
Only by doing the above preliminary preparations can you ensure that the network to be deployed can meet your later traffic needs.
What equipment is needed to deploy a 10G home fiber optic network?
1. Home 10G Switch
For home network switches, there is no need to choose a network switch that supports all functions, just choose to support basic functions, such as QoS, VLAN, and security. You can also consider the stacking function and Power over Ethernet function. The stacking function can bring greater flexibility to the network. If you want to upgrade the network or need to add more network devices to the network later, stacking multiple switches may be the most effective and economical solution, because it can be Meet your needs without changing the original network architecture. The Power over Ethernet function can supply power to PoE devices. If you need to deploy PoE devices such as IP cameras in your home network, it is recommended that you choose a switch that supports Power over Ethernet (ie, PoE switch or PoE+ switch). In addition, in order to ensure the stable and reliable operation of your home network, it is recommended to choose a network switch with a larger switching capacity.
2. Router
First of all, you should firstly contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or check your account details directly to obtain your bandwidth rate, and see how fast the router needs to handle the bandwidth rate. Considering that you are now wiring a 10G home fiber optic network, the router you choose should be equipped with at least one SFP+ port. If your home network has a large coverage area, considering the cost and the stability of the connection, it is recommended that you prefer a wired router (which can be used with a wireless access point).
3. Wireless Access Point (AP)
When choosing a wireless access point, you must first confirm how many wireless devices you have? What is the maximum area covered by the WiFi signal? How wide can your selected wireless access point cover? Then you can determine how many wireless access points you need to buy, so you can avoid choosing fewer or more wireless access points.
4. Web server
5. 10 Gigabit Ethernet
6. PoE switch
7. 10G network carrier
8. IP cameras and so on.
The above required equipment will be adjusted according to specific conditions during actual construction.
In a typical 10G home fiber optic network deployment, there are many network devices in the entire house. After calculating the connection lines, the 24-port 10 Gigabit switch is used as the core switch in the home network, of which 24 are 10 Gigabit switches. The electrical ports are connected to most terminal equipment, and the 4 SFP+ optical ports of the 10 Gigabit switch are connected to PoE+ switches, routers, network video recorders (NVR) and servers. As for PoE equipment in courtyards, garages, etc., just connect to an 8-port PoE+ switch.
Conclusion
With the maturity of 10G Ethernet technology, the cost of 10G network deployment has been greatly reduced compared to before. More importantly, its operation process is also very simple.
