Inside fiber install

I’ve been giving most of the details over on Facebook, but I thought I should nail down this big step in getting our gigabit fiber Internet service.  The crew from USI came and brought the fiber from the junction box on the side of the house through to the ethernet switch they installed on the wiring panel.

So far as I know, actual Internet through this is still scheduled for sometime in the first two weeks of June.

Final addition to wiring closet -- the ethernet switch that connects our copper to their fiber.

This Zyxel GS2200B supports up to 8 1-gigabit copper ethernet connects, plus a 10gb and apparently a 6gb (is there a 6gb copper standard, or am I misreading that?).

Also, note the support for a serial “console port”!
