True. That said, fiber can be painful to deal with. Electrical isolation is one big benefit, as is power savings, and of course forward-compatibility. I still prefer running copper for residential, especially because you don’t have to be as careful about bend radius and such.

Within my rack I use DACs to connect all the gear, which works well since it allows maximum performance over short runs with minimal effort.

Nice setup though, my comment wasn’t meant to criticize, I think having a proper network at home is a big boost to quality of life that most folks don’t realize because they’ve never experienced it.
