Well, one's fiber, one's copper. That's a pretty real difference. The cables for one don't fit in the ports for another, for example. ;-) Fiber can go longer distances, and isn't susceptible to EM/RF interference. Copper cables are more durable than fiber -- if you kink a fiber cable, it will often snap, and a spec of dust can ruin your day. Fiber costs more. > if both are set to 1000T? The "T" in "1000BASE-T" stands for "twisted pair". So setting a fiber port to "1000T" is nonsensical. I suspect you're looking at an option that only applies to copper ports. -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
