1 year agoYou need a SC-APC Coupler F/F. Don’t worry OP all fiber is colour coded just get one that’s light green with that name and you should be fine. The connector could be dirty or damaged which might cause a minor signal loss or even them being unusable. Your ISP should be able to splice a new end or just clean the current one for you.
It’s not worth it don’t listen to anyone here. I work for an ISP and I can see the average throughput at the homes.
Do you use your home to live and recreational activities? You don’t need 3gbps and you don’t need to upgrade the switch.
Do you host a massive plex server for you and your friends? You don’t need 3gbps and you don’t need to upgrade the switch.
Do you work from home in media and have to consistently upload large files? You don’t need 3gbps and you don’t need to upgrade the switch.
Most of your devices in your home probably don’t actually support a 3gbs phyrate to begin with. Stick with the gigabit switch and see if your isp provides a cheaper plan. We are an evil industry that preys on people interested in tech and old people with big number they can’t understand nor utilize.
