Right now the media converter is the most cost effective, since the
switch in there is a very large and expensive ProCurve chassis that I
can't get pieces for, so I would have to replace the whole thing.
Switches at both ends are 10/100

1) Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and
ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2) Anything that's invented between when you're 15 and 35 is new and
exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3) Anything invented after you're 35 is again the natural order of
things

That is what we did Karl. We replaced all our networking with HP
Procurve
and they have mini-gbic converter that go right into the switch
itself. No
extra piece of equipment.

First thing you need to know is what the highest speed your switch can
handle is, is it 10/100 or 10/100/1000? It doesn't do any good to
put in
a gigabit media converter if the highest speed your switch can do is
100Mbs.
The best solution would be to replace your existing switch with a
switch
that not only has Ethernet ports but also has the capabilities to
accept
a gbic or mini-gbic that way you can connect your fiber directly to
your
switch without the need for the media converter.

OK, I found out why one wing of my building had such terribly slow
network speeds. There is a 10meg Media converter running to that end
of the building. How do I know what to replace it with, I don't know
much about fiber. THe patch cable connects to the switch in this
closet and then fiber runs to the other closet. I have attached a
picture of what is currently in there.
