Won't you end up with a bunch of media converters everywhere though?

If I were wiring a home, I'd probably run some multimode fiber alongside CAT6 or maybe even 2 shielded CAT6 to support a secondary LAN like for surveillance cameras.

Avoid multimode. Unlike singlemode fibre it needs upgrading as speeds increase.

A dualport 10 Gbit/s SFP+ PCI-E card with an optic is like 25$ on ebay.

If you're wiring a home - wouldn't lay-people want it to look nice? Are these made with any way to hide them in walls, exposing a usable port (even if RJ-45?)

Or if not - how should one think about deploying all this in a new home?
