I’m looking for some advise, guidance, etc on a project I have coming up. The fiber portion is totally new to me.
I am going to be adding network connectivity and Sec. cameras to a storage unit (there are 3 buildings). There’s a telephone pole near the road and that pole is going to serve the host for 2 cameras, flex switch.
Here’s the layout:
- Telephone Pole
- It hosts the coax DMARC box, outdoor electrical panel and an outlet
- From here a direct bury coax will be ran in ground to Storage Unit 1 and go inside
- It is going to have a Extreme Broadband Heavy Duty Weather Proof Multi Purpose Enclosure 12 x 12 x 3 that is going to house USW-Flex Switch (UFiber Outdoor Terminal Box adapter), UFiber Active Ethernet, in that UFiber AE is going to be a 1 Gbps Bidirectional Single-Mode Optical Module. That switch is going to power 2 G5 Turrets. CAT6 will be ran to them with a drain wire. From the bidi module a 70’ Singlemode Outdoor Gel Filled Fiber Optic Cable will be ran in conduit underground to Storage Unit 1.
- Storage Unit 1
- The COAX is going to be grounded/bonded to the buildings ground rod and run inside to the cable modem
- A 6U rack will house a UDM Pro SE, 1U rack fan
- From the incoming fiber, another UFiber AE and bidi module to convert to copper to go to the switch
- 1 Camera on the outside of this unit
- From the UDM Pro SE, another fiber run (with another Ufiber AE and bidi module) run in conduit underground to Storage Unit 2.
- Storage Unit 2
- From the incoming fiber will be yet another UFiber AE and bidi module to a USW-Flex switch powered by PoE++. This switch will power 2-3 cameras.
Is this sufficient? Should I use an Ethernet Surge Protector on the pole anywhere? The outdoor weather proof outlet is grounded. I’m looking to best protect the equipment as possible.
