What does it cost to use fiber vs. conventional cat 5 cabling for a LAN? (#3480)
Fiber will cary any speed imaginable its not limited, and CAT5 carries only 100 mbit. The expense is about 1000 times CAT5 for fiber. It's VERY expensive to lay fiber. We are talking low 6 figures per about 100 feet of cable. Typical cost of multimode fiber per foot is around $0.75 compared to $0.10 for Cat5e Gigabit certified copper cable.
