Dear Sirs, Maybe this is not the right place to ask this, but since I see that some of you people have a lot of experience with this kind of stuff I will ask anyway. (sorry if it's off-topic)
This is what I want to do: I want to interconnect a couple of buildings that are located in a 15km area. For this I want to install a fiber optic cable that starts from the main server and it stops on the top of the last building. On each building I need to convert the optic signal to electrical signal so that computers inside the building connect to the network via regular UTP100TX nics. This very large network will be connected to the internet via a sat link (downlink via sat-dvb card and uplink via a 256k wireless modem). The questions: 1. What type of fiber optic cable do I need for this (I need a low cost approach)? 2. can you give me some hints about what type of DVB card should I buy for the sat downlink, a card that works good in Linux? 3. Are the any special considerations that I should take care of when I install the Linux server or the network cables? As a side note I want to mention that the network is designed to accommodate about 200 workstations, and only 100-150 of them will have internet access.
