That close, wouldn't encrypted M Rockets be cheaper than labor & wire, and nearly just as fast? Bridged? Routed? Can any one point see the others? Why no wireless, what's he afraid of?

Depending on how it needs to be installed between buildings, there may not be much cost difference between fiber and copper, especially if you need multiple circuits. Fiber is not really expensive and you can get a lot of strands in a small cable. Just be sure to run more strands than you "need."

What speed? 10, 100, 1000, 10G. There are lots of Ethernet extenders that can give you speeds to 100 Mbps over coax, copper,. just Google it and you will find plenty. We have used these when fiber is not an option. However, make sure you take grounding between buildings into account as well with stuff like coax/copper. If you can afford it fiber is your best option. * Larry A.

I have a special job to do. I need to connect 4 sites together in a line and provide Ethernet connectivity between them. I may NOT use wireless to do this. I can run overhead cable of most any type I need to. Coax, cat3 or cat5, or even fiber if the price is right... Site 1 to site 2 is 700 ft. Site 2 to site 3 is 900 ft. Site 3 to site 4 is 2400 ft.
