Love it, I have a very similar setup. Ended up running a bunch of new cable and ripping out old coax. I did MoCA 2.5 for a bit which worked well, but felt good to get rid of the old coax and run fresh cat6
upgraded my entire rack. the USW Pro Aggregation works well with Savant Home System and entire home is Lutron. 15k square feet here. get the u6 mesh for outdoor with flex switches and you're good to go
Only problem with the Unifi Cable modem is lack of midsplit/highsplit support currently. So those who maybe in an area that can get faster upload speeds over DOCSIS are gonna get left out using the Unifi Cable modem.
I paid ~20k to run a private 100G fiber line to my home and similar for other utilities (running 8gig up/down GFiber), roughly 9300sqft. A little shocked on a 12.5k build you'd settle for that connectivity. Also strange all you needed was the 24P. With all the POE cameras, 2 CAT6 runs to each room and wall mounted POE tablet controllers, I needed a Pro Max 24 POE and a Pro Max 48; UDM SE full on the crappy 8 port switch as well. I ran every line ethernet in my home myself during the build, was dumb enough to waste my time running coax but have no reason to terminate. Not sure I'll ever have a use.
I wish running 100gig fiber line to my property would only be 20k. I’d imagine they would want 100k or more to run fiber to my house, if it were even possible at this point. I will say that 24 port is just what I am starting with and will grow it out as needed. This wasn’t a new build, so I don’t have multiple Ethernet drops in each room.
@@jbjensen89 Luckily I work in telecom, so I was able to get to the right person to have that line run. An old build would be a nightmare to run new lines. No fun you have to deal with that, but I've seen it done with the right equipment. I ran PVC tubing from each room to attic space and then multiple runs back to the server room in the basement incase I needed additional runs of anything, all insulation is foam so I'm SOL otherwise. I just upgraded from Edge hardware so I could upgrade to 8gig fiber. Honestly no complaints for $150 a month, but we're not really saturating it.
I bought a few of the USW Pro Max switches for my house too. They haven’t arrived just yet though. Unfortunately due to some limitations in my houses network wiring, one will be in a walk-in closet. What do you think of the noise levels from cooling? Are they loud??
They seem to be quite quiet in my experience. Although putting it into a closet will amplify the sound especially if the ventilation isn’t great and it gets warm in there.
I would add two more patch panels, one above and one below the UDM SE. Also need to replace that UPS with a rack mount UPS, and get a pure sine wave UPS. You might also want to consider getting the UniFi CLI DocSys 3.1 Modem and get with of that modem from Spectrum. My CLI is awesome.
I’m waiting for them to lay fiber. I think in the meantime I’ll just keep the Spectrum modem. And I’ll add patch panels as necessary. I have a UPS on the bottom rack shelf.
depending on your network load, it might be good to setup a docker host with some caching on it. Steam, windows, and mac update caching can really help out. Even a network with 200 down can feel really good with multiple users if updates and games are cached locally.
How often are you redownloading your steam games?! Lol Caching doesn't make much sense for a couple home users, unless you're just doing it cuz you're a nerd and it's fun
Yet you used an audio rack. No provision for passing a second internet connection though the patch. For the size of the house that's not a lot of connections. You are also leaving 8 Poe ports on the table.
It has standard networking connections (for cage nuts) on the other ends (90 degrees to where I have everything mounted now). The house was built 14 years ago. That’s the amount of drops they put in the house and terminated as RJ45. They also ran cat 5e cable terminated as RJ11 telephone lines that I will re-terminate as RJ45.
Just being honest, any new build post 23’, you should definitely install pure fiber for future proofing… the only switch that would be good for new builds, imo, is the xg24 or 48 pro aggregation switch
This wasn’t a new build. It is 14 years old. It’s new to me. If I had open walls, I’d run cat 7 throughout the house (or contemplate running fiber). Hopefully soon, they will trench fiber internet to my property and I will be a customer day 1 for fiber internet.
Merry Christmas weekend! Neat video thank you for educating me more on this stuff!
Nice video and great setup. Merry Christmas!

Congrats on the new cribo!
Thanks!
Causally saying 12000 sqft is slightly above average. Mansions are 5k. So it’s a huge house bud. Great start to the setup though.
Nice setup if you ever needed more network drops as a last resort you could use those coax drops as moca.
Ya I’ve thought about that. Or at least use the coax as a pull wire to pull new cat6/7 through the walls.
Nice bud 😊
Thanks!
Hi I Really liked the video can you make another one showing the back of the rack setup?
I can try. What would you like to see on the back? It’s not super interesting so far haha.
Nice, are you going to get the new Unifi Cable Internet modem? it will look great with the rest of equipment rack mounted.

Sweet setup.
Thanks! It’s a work in progress. But I’m loving the stability of it so far.

nice :)
Thanks for the visit
Definitely coil up that dac cable

Their modems don’t do anything special.
@@user-tw2nw2up7g Nope but just makes rack look cleaner and ties into Unifi app.
Sure looks like there is just enough space to mount that rack to the wall where those old school looking patch panels are.
Yes I’m contemplating that. I’m rarely in this utility room, so it’s not a huge deal having the rack on the ground for now.
Nice. Plans for Protect cameras?
Possibly in the future. If Ubiquiti or someone wants to send me some Protect Cameras to test, I’ll for sure make some videos on installing them.
I have the doorbell pro from Ubiquiti so far installed and working flawlessly. I plan to add more Ubiquiti cameras over time.
More Ubiquiti videos!
What else would you like me to post about Ubiquiti? Maybe some camera vids
@@jbjensen89 literally anything. just love watching other people set up their equipment
what are the patch cables?
Here’s the link to them: Rapink Patch Cables Cat6/ Cat6a... www.amazon.com/dp/B0BXW9M65K?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I would love to use Ubiquiti but with actual layer 3 support. As it stands, these should be treated as dumb switches.
My house is 20,000 sq ft. Can it handle that?
Not sure if you’re being sarcastic. But yes, it can scale to any size home with the correct number of access points.

@@firestar4430it applies to more than just steam
what would you use for caching?
@@GrahamWerle a device running LANcache. It's free software I believe.

The only 2 products I think unifi has that is worth a damn
Most people just need one or couple WiFi access points to cover all their needs 😂
