Fiber & Cat 5 LAN Network

by nightwolfzor . Updated 16 years, 8 months ago

Hey,

Im looking for some hardware for a network to support 800 clients… The building the network is designed for is very large and therfore no matter where i place a central server room, CAT 5 will not be able to reach…

I was thinking of using fiber… However I have never had any experience with fiber networks…

Basically what I am looking for is a fiber optic switch with 8-16 ports… I was looking a MM fiber with MT-RJ cpnnectors… I was woundering if any 1 could reccomend some optic switches that would work… I also need 5-6 24port 10/100/1000 switches using cat 5 cable that are able to plug into the fiber switch…

So i need….
One 8-16 port fiber switch…
then i need a few gigbit switches that can be connected the the fiber switch via an uplink port or GBIC card or wat ever… I also then need to connect the fiber swtich the the server back bone…

Could some1 please give me some links and some reccomended hardware????

Thanks,

NW
