Okay, new fiber to the office is in the conduit and the old fiber (both the working multi-mode fiber and the too-short single-mode fiber)'s all bundled up and put away! That took forever, but it was worth it! And hey, that's one more SFP+ port open on my Brocade ICX-7250 switch, since now the office is on the same breakout cable from the Mellanox SX6036 as the living room!

To answer my own question after researching most of today:
We are just going to use the CAT6 terminations/ends - the custom CAT 7 terminations by the company consortium is overpriced BS (IMHO)

Question: Now that I have the #CAT7 & #CAT6 ran in the house, do I splurge for the CAT 7 termination/ends, keystones, panel, etc. or do I just use the CAT 6 that I have on hand/procured?
I ran both to the drops, now to terminate - wall plates & patch panel. procured shielded CAT 6, started shopping for CAT 7 and the sticker shock for someone who is unemployed....

Finished cleaning up the cabling and getting the Beelink properly installed in the minirack. Overall, I miss the Pis because they looked pretty cool, but I'm not gonna complain: this looks pretty good as well.
The doggo wasn't quite as impressed.
