Generally you just use fiber on your backbone or high traffic areas and cat5
the rest of the network. Fiber is expensive, fragile and requires skilled
personnel to install correctly. I remember sitting for almost an hour once
watching this guy carefully strip, clean and polish a section of fiber. You
should do some testing on your network to see if you actually need anything
more than 100mbps before you commit. I dunno, that's just my experience
with it.

Can someone comment here on reasons to use fiber for network cable now
instead of old style standard cat5 cable?
I see lots of fiber equipment out there but 100mbps is 100mbps right?
Is fiber economical when you get into over 100mbps situations?
thanks.
