Make sure it's multi-mode rather than single-mode. Unless you're running a long distance point to point high bandwidth circuit... but you would likely terminate that at your router. You might need something like a Cisco 6509 to tie it all together though. :-)</div>

I'm not planning to run anything over the cable except straight ethernet (no PoE, no POTS).<br>

</div></div>I would have them pull fiber optic cable at the same time. Like Stephen<br>
said, the main cost will be for the labor.<br>
