Re: Wiring new home - use that extra SM fiber after all?
said by ronpin  : can anyone think of any real use for it in the house? It was a stretch but I came with with ten reasons why you might want to wire your home with fiber. 
1) Lightning protection.
2) Extreme security - much harder to tap fiber then copper.
3) Speed - who knows some day 10Gb/s LAN may be seen as quaint.
4) As a consultant think of it as a marketing tool.
5) You have it laying around now - no need to even terminate it until you need it. Cheap now pay later.
6) Terminate a few ends with a diffuser and use it as a night light.
7) Smaller then copper - perhaps able to deliver connectivity where you could not with copper.
8) Bragging rights to your neighbors - the first all fiber home in the area.
9) As a non conductor it cannot over heat and cause a fire no matter what your 10-year old tries to connect it to.
10) You have a lot of experience with fiber - it would be fun to do it.
