Short answer: as long as your ethernet cables are able to match or exceed the speed of your fiber connection, then probably not worth it. Something like Router -> RJ-45 cable -> RJ-45 to Fiber -> Fiber cable through the wall -> Fiber to RJ-45 -> RJ-45 cable -> computer (or eventually a switch). Does that even exist ? I have googled a bit but fiber is so complex and has so many variants it is hard to find scenarios similar to mine. If you wired things up using two pairs per device back in 100BASE-T days, however, you'll want to redo your cabling before you buy new switches. Fiber optic technology is a method of transmitting information from one point to another using light signals that are transmitted along thin, flexible fibers made of glass or plastic. It has become an essential component of our daily lives, providing fast and reliable communication over long. Despite the impressive capabilities of fiber optics, copper Ethernet cables remain indispensable for several reasons: Power and Data Transmission: Copper cables transfer data via electrical signals and deliver power through technologies like Power over Ethernet (PoE). There are different types of both, offering different features and they're designed with different use cases in mind, so doing a direct fiber optic cables vs.
