We're in the middle of a campus expansion. New buildings are going up and fiber runs are being made to connect the buildings due to distance. I haven't worked with fiber,
Our Procurve switches only have the front 1 gig SFP ports (no 10 gig expansions on back). While we intend to connect the new building fiber to our switches, our consultant wanted to upgrade the rest of our uplinks (different floors in main building) from Cat5e to fiber.
Should we need this, if cost and performance are the focus points? I can configure my switches either way, but I can't see how a 1Gb fiber could help any more than a 1Gb copper...correct?
