barefootken 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2015 Hi dear all,Need some advice here for my new HDB place at Costa Ris @ Pasir Ris.My TV point is located at one side of the wall and I would like to relocate it to the opposite wall as my TV will be placed there.1. Electrical contractor will know what to do right? Because read in the forum there are people who bought those patch cord cable and pass to contractor to do it, why need to do so? Better quality cable, less interference or?2. And besides this TV point, is there a fiber optic point just beside it? Or fiber optic point is terminated at the riser box behind the main door?3. Also understand all the new house telephone points are actually laid using LAN cable so just need to convert the face plate and can use as LAN point already is that true?Thanks in advance!

wyx03 12 Report post Posted January 10, 2015 Hi,Hope the followings answer your questions Ans 1: The contractor will either run a casing OR embedded the SCV cable all the way to the opposite side of the wall. The latter will be more expensive as they need to cut a long slot on the wall to hide the cable, then paste the cut with putty of cement.Ans 2: There's no fibre optic point beside the TV point. It's terminated in the DB box behind the main door.Ans 3: Not only the faceplate, but also Ethernet keystone for each LAN point. I DIY this myself. Faceplate costs about $2~$3 each. Cat6 keystone costs about $5~$6 each. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barefootken 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2015 Hi wyx03_2002 thanks for the detailed reply appreciate that!Did a quick check over the weekend, yes no fiber optic point beside TV point, just telephone point beside it.Saw some quick write up on converting telephone line into LAN line, seems not too challenging.Now wondering where to get the tool to ‘punch’ the cables into the Ethernet keystone, perhaps Sim Lim Tower may have?And when I open up my DB box seems like all the ‘phone’ lines converge into one single telephone point. So if I convert the telephone points into LAN points in the individual rooms, how do you do the splitting in the DB box? Example connect these lines to a switch then connect to the fiber broadband modem.Thanks in advance.Hi,Hope the followings answer your questions Ans 1: The contractor will either run a casing OR embedded the SCV cable all the way to the opposite side of the wall.
