I'd like to find some myself. I'm looking for
6-8 of either the AUI to
10Base-FL type, or 10Base-T to 10Base-FL type. Theres a local
school that
I put a lan in for that currently has copper between 3
buildings. I'd like
to replace those copper lines with 10Base-FL this summer at
the latest.
Since it's a small nonprofit school, they don't have any
money to support
the network, so all of the materials used have been donated
or were extra
bits I had laying around.
Well, if you're concerned about capacity, you might consider
running multiple lines and doing some kind of channel binding.
If you're concerned that the copper may not last well outdoors,
well, that won't help. :) 10-Base-2 or 10-Base-5, though, can be
very weatherproof.
You could see if you can dig up a bunch of ricochet modems, and get
the connections between the buildings to be made that way. No cable
at all. (been meaning to dig some up for home use, myself)
