Fiber Cabling

Our new building will be connected to the rest of our church campus using a fiber optic backbone. 100 megabyte switches are connected via fiber which then connects to the copper based CAT 5 connections via a standard patch panel.

An interesting aspect of fiber connections is that there is no real standard. The switches in place for this installation will use a combination of MT-RJ (pictured) and SC. Other standards include LC, ST, MU and MT to name a few.
