We're wanting to clean up one of our locations. The school was wired before we consolidated and all the runs are piggy backed. We're looking to purchase some pre-terminated fiber and at least make some of the closets home runs. The building has 7 closets, including the MDF. We're thinking of going home runs with at least three of them. Is there any benefit of doing fiber between closets (say max of 200 feet) if there is already existing Cat5e or Cat 6? One of them is a computer lab that is less than 60ft from another closet, but there is a patch panel and switch in lab. The guy there has run all the cable himself, but half the switches are less than half full. We've added access points, 4-5 laptop carts, video surveillance, ip phones, and extra building outside that we moved another school into (our Adult Education). I'd love to rewire the whole building, but right now, we don't have it in the budget. I have a surplus of fiber and copper gbics, so it's just the fiber that's gonna cost a few grand.
