OM3 Fiber...
For short runs inside the house, I recommend OM3 multimode fiber (the aqua jacket) at 850nm. It’s affordable, easy to work with for patching in a rack, and it pairs perfectly with cheap 10Gb SR transceivers. It’s also a great way to avoid the cost and heat headaches of 10GBase-T copper.
