Fibre optic strapping advice request

Hello,

I would need your opinion to validate an installation. My PTO is in the garage, and I want to install my box in the living room, which is quite far away; the duct is about 20m. I would like to switch to FREE and use the FREE POP offer without being tied to this operator for life. The problem with FREE is that, unlike other operators, the connection must be SC/UPC (blue) on the box and not SC/APC (green). So my idea would be to use an SC/APC/SC/APC jumper, meaning green/green, up to a junction box located near the box, and from there use an SC-APC / SC-APC coupler, which will allow me to either continue with an SC/APC-SC/UPC (green-blue) fiber if I stay with FREE or go back to an SC/APC/SC/APC (green/green) fiber if I change operators. What do you think?

    Hello.

    Brupala, whom I greet, suggested that you had a communication box in your garage.

    Is that the case?

    If so, your wish to place the box in the living room goes against a certain logic that would have allowed you to optimize your network usage at home.

    Awaiting your reply...

    Hello,

    If your PTO is installed in the garage, you should have a communication box in the same place, and that's the right spot for your box, not in the living room.

    Behind it, you can make Ethernet connections on RJ45 and, if needed, install a Wi-Fi access point (Free repeater) where you need it.

    It's not a good idea to put the box elsewhere along with a fiber patch cord.

    And there you go, that's it ....

    But misery, how annoying are the line breaks!!

    Thank you for your reply, but I would like to have the PTO in the garage and the box in the living room. So I am looking for a solution to achieve this configuration.
