    I run fiber because fiber SFPs are cheaper than copper lol.

    But if it doesn’t move in my house, it’s wired.

      I think they might also use Ethernet? Usually “Ethernet” refers to the copper Ethernet cable, but I am 99% sure Fiber uses Ethernet too.

      Just sharing since I’m deploying my Fiber setup at home in a bit…

        Ethernet is a layer 1/2 standard, so it is technically it’s anything covered under IEEE 802.3.

        But for most folks Ethernet is a copper patch cable and a copper port.

        My comment was more directed at the unholy costs of copper SFPs and their heat when dealing with multigig setups.
