Adding SFP to conenct from GS752TPPv3 to LG TV ... Help!!
Evening all,
I have 2 GS752TPP's in a home environment. They were new last year and I have Insight installed.
We have RJ45 cat 5e to Cat 6 flood wired throughout the property which works very solidly connecting things like TVs, Sonos boxes, PoE cameras, streaming boxes etc. There is also an Orbi wifi system for mobile devices, laptops etc.
I'm currently re-wiring a room to facilitate a new up to date TV and Sonos home theatre system and have the opportunity to install fiber HDMI and fiber to the TV.
It's not strictly necessary but given the roof and walls are stripped out and I can install a conduit, it seems worthwhile to grab the opportunity
Have looked at articles and can see roughly what I might need but I'm having trouble translating this into Netgear products.
The switches are in a room approximately 10 meters from the TV. The area behind the TV has been channelled out such that I can install a hub or media converter, cables and power.
I know I need an SFP module at the switch. Currently there are none fitted. If I read correctly, it is the ideal to have the SFP module at each end. But past that, I'm a bit in the dark.
Would appreciate any advice, product suggestions, how I could connect the 752TPP to the TV in fiber to get the fastest, more robust, future proofed connection and configuration please.
I've read about third party SFP's that are brand independent but would prefer keep the entire home network Netgear if humanly possible.
Appreciate any advice so that I can get it right first time. Many thanks

Dear moonwatcher64
Unless there are -real- issues you have to address, establishing a fibre connection -just- to connect a TV isn't worth the cost and effort involved.
An argument for fibre could be establishing a much faster backhaul connection, say between the two GS752TPP, or from one (or both to add redundancy to your network) of these to a new established switch near to your TV, in case there is a need to connected even more performance demanding systems, or the the lack of physical space required for installing copper Ethernet. Of course, fibre is a great investment into the in case you plan to operate a much faster backhaul (like 25 Gb/s or more) one day
For just a few meters connecting a TV, wired Ethernet is perfectly fine - and sufficient even in the future.
