Hi everybody, I run out of ports in an office room (solid cat6 from the main rack) , so I have to add some more... I have at least two different way to add them: - run 6-10 new cat6 cables for 65 meters each from the main rack to the room; - buy a new little wall rack (60€) for the room, run two cables (fiber or copper?) from the main rack to the new little rack of the room one and connect old and new room ports using the "old" cat6 pulled from the tubes (it's only 4 years old, perfect status).
I think that the solution with the satellite rack would be more clean (there are already too many cables in the main rack with servers etc) and future-proof, and the cost would be similar: 300m of cat6 costs ~90€ vs 40€ for pre-terminated 4-strands SMF + 60€ for the little rack. I also think that running the backbone between racks in SMF would be much more future proof (either for bandwith and diameter) than another pair of copper... what do you think about it?
