| Mar 1, 2017 at 21:05 | comment | added | user34833 | @Ecnerwal Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. I'm thinking of re-choosing my switches to the Quanta LB4M. They have SFP+, which can operate at 10Gb. I think what I'll do is run 6a from each switch, and fiber between switches. Any other suggestions? | |
| Mar 1, 2017 at 19:38 | comment | added | Ecnerwal | So a casual inspection of the diagram says everything is less than 100 meters of cable, most likely. If you are only going to light this at gigabit, you can stick to copper, which you are obviously more comfortable with, and reconsider fiber when 10 gig or higher speeds are on the table; if the 6A is installed correctly it should work at 10Gig, but it can be quite picky in a way that fiber isn't, and fiber is not limited to that speed, either. | |

| Mar 1, 2017 at 19:07 | comment | added | user34833 | Thanks, added a scale for you. running from any point in the building to the opposite end is about 350 ft | |
| Mar 1, 2017 at 18:51 | comment | added | Ecnerwal | Running though walls wouldn't save much, anyway; but cinderblock to the ceiling is no problem - that's what masonry drill bits are for... A scale reference would still be helpful. | |
| Mar 1, 2017 at 18:50 | comment | added | Ron Maupin♦ | The only problem is if the cable distance from a WAO to the cross-connect in the TR is more than 90 meters, not that the distance from one end of the building to the other end is more than 100 meters. How far, by cable, including patch cords on each end, going up and down the walls, service loops at each end, etc.? if that is more than 100 meters from the device interface to the switch interface, then you have problems. | |
