I attended a basic intro to fibre optic distribution and IRS run by Global Invacom the other night in Northern Ireland.
It seems like the way forward for large distribution systems, as it is almost lossless, much better than co-ax and multiswitches, and no earth bonding problems either (sorry all you electricians out there).
Has anyone here used it before, and how did they find it, as it seems very logical and simple to me.
Test equipment is pricey, as are lnbs, but it must surely get more affordable as it takes hold.
I was impressed, I must say.
