Re: In with the new, out with the old?

No. It will be used where it makes sense to use it. Regular fiber will still be cheaper for now.

I have been pushing our suppliers to start thinking about this for Data Centers where sometimes we have issues with bent fibers. Never can seem to make server admins aware if they bend them they wont work. *shrug* They just yell at us network guys until it's fixed.

I have trouble shot some fiber to storage units where the server admins had just jammed the fiber and bent it around corners like they did with cat5 , and yet they wondered why the array cant hit 4 gig transfer speeds without the error rate sky rocketing.

Some people just don't understand how sensitive these can be.

Im really liking the rugged drop cable , might have to push for this when we start building our new datacenter.
