I think it's good that niche solutions are starting to come up since it means fiber is reaching critical mass in sg.

It is like a "trunking" for the fiber right? How does this work with Opennet? As in, if I have FTP installed in living room, then I will use this for what purpose?

 

[neubie]

i think it is designed to conceal your fiber cable (the yellow one) that links to the ONT. but then again, if u look at the corners, I dunno if the fiber cable will break if the bending is too sharp (90 degrees).

It looks neat to me.

I tried calling up 3M at Yishun but their customer service cannot make it.

Sigh.

You may want to call up to enquire.

Cheers.

3M was offering this service at $199 during IT show.

 

[henrywjkoh]

Yeap. I'm on the $199 package

 

[sWirL84]

looks really expensive, or is it just me? hmm

unless your FTP is really far from your ONT, if not it won't be worth it.

 

[henrywjkoh]

Usually the ONT is installed next to the FTP right?
Or am i wrong?

Whats the use of having the FTP in living room then ONT in study room?

and provided the patch cable u use is not of poor quality and broken, this make it totally useless...

 

[etegration]

MMM sure make a lot of things!

so this one is to just to let you pull the fibre into another part of the house?

It seemed like.

I did call up 3M to enquire about it.

According to them, 3M mini concept is like relocating your TP from your actual location to your choice location.

For example, TP is located at living room (HDB) and your choice of location is your bedroom.

3M mini fibre cable will run from your living room to your bedroom with another TP installed there.

Once you used the TP in your bedroom, you cannot use the one in the living room. (example for IPTV in the future)

Cheers.

ok. makes sense. I think it would be useful to have a similar concept for ethernet cables as well.

Yes, I think I have the same understanding as you. I watched this video 3M and the major advantage I see is that their cable can bend at smaller radius.
The other advantage of course is that the 3M trunking is much smaller and nicer. For the price of $299 though, it is very expansive. You can do it yourself by using a long fiber optic cable. Connect one end to your TP and the other end to your ONT.
To make it look nicer, you have to enclose the fiber optic cable within an electrical trunking that you buy from electrical shop. The other more robust way is just to connect a long lan cable from your ONT to your router. Again have to use trunking to dress the cable nicely.

any other users of this product?

can OpenNet install their TP in the house near to the entry point doorstep area? from there 3M will install another TP at our desired location from OpenNet's TP. would there be any charges incurred for trunking/cabling from FDP along corridor to our house near to the entry point doorstep area?

Yes, you can. But u have to convince them that you are going to do extension urself.

If you missed the free installation period. it will be $220 for the installation. It includes trunking at corridor (no limit) and inside house first 15m.

 

[5408854088]

wah like that abit bo hua leh. $220 and $299 is $519 liao. unless they can just drill a hole and bring in the fiber without termination point, from there 3M continue.

 

[nukeman]

Anybody use this before? Does it look better and reliable?

Wan to know how it is before going for it
