Hello, I've got a fiber connection between two buildings and need to setup networks in each building so they can talk to each other at full-duplex fast ethernet speeds. I know very little about fiber connections. The fiber cables are labeled as follows: Chromatic Technologies 800 series 62 5/125 Optical Fiber Cable per article 770 Type OFNP (UL) CSA LL82385 Type OFN-FT6 75C What is this telling me? Can I setup a FreeBSD router box on each end with fiber (FDDI?) interfaces to each other? Is a switch on each side an easier solution? Will this cable even support 100Mbps full-duplex speeds between the two networks? We'd like to use the existing connection, as it would be more costly to replace it (re-run wires underground).
