I got this question from a friend and I don't really know much about fiber. Anyone here have an answer/opinion?
-Brent ****************************** Forwarded Question: I am curious about what type of fiber is the most futureproof in a home where conduit maybe isn’t practical? 50µm? 62.5µm? Single mode? Multimode? I am specifically curious about what fiber is being used in lightpeak and this Atlona displayport adapter. I don’t think the displayport over fiber spec specifies the medium, but Atlona is a reputable firm and they will probably use the same fiber in upcoming 1.2 spec cables as these 1.1 spec cables. Since 10G over copper cable is already viable, I don’t think it is worth installing fiber just for Ethernet. Conduit in this home is not practical. -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
