Re: Fiber cable without a converter

In a word? No.

Right now, you've got an electrical connection; fibre optics provide an optical pathway... They aren't interchangeable.

You may be picking up overhead from the teamed connection... A single gig-e is good for 20x your WAN speed... Depending on your router and NIC, the software and processing to parallel the two ports may actually introduce lag.

great reply. I never thought of bridging causing a packet loss, especially when your sending and receiving packets at a high rate/amount.

so using a single port, gig-e, on a 50mb connection is as fast as im gonna be able to send and receive right?

I'm surprised no one has custom created fiber optic cables with rj45 connectors yet.
