fiber
Hi, We have fiber optic internet coming to our office soon, and i would like to know if it would be worth installing fiber NIC's in our servers and machines instead of using cat6 gigabit.
Here is the layout:
(fiber) cable from distribution point in basement -> fiber optic modem -> Network gateway (debian lenny) -> network computers and servers
I was wondering if it would be worth installing a fiber connection from the modem to the gateway and the network clients. Will the costs be worth it in terms of speed, latency and stability?
Thanks, RayQuang
