Fiber installation in Atlanta, GA
Fiber is the right way to connect a detached structure. It carries full speed well past the roughly 300-foot limit of copper Ethernet, and because it is non-conductive it avoids the grounding and surge problems that come with running copper between buildings.

Local considerations
- Two-story and basement homes are typical, so a basement rack with a wired access point on each level is a common design.
- Wooded lots and long driveways often call for careful camera placement and outdoor wireless links.
- Steady new construction across the suburbs makes prewire an easy upgrade to plan early.
Common home types here: Two-story with basement, Wooded lots, New construction.

How much does it cost to run fiber to a garage, ADU or office?
Running fiber to a detached building is priced mostly by the trench or conduit pathway between the buildings. The fiber and the media converters at each end are a modest part of the cost; distance, ground surface and whether conduit already exists decide the rest.
