If you're planning for the long term and think that running new cabling everywhere would be a huge pain, or there's some sort of concern with interference, I would definitely go with fiber.
- Aromasin 3y agoI'd love to agree, but there's a whole list of companies I can name and shame where upgrading was, and is, simply a waste of time and resources for everyone involved in the design. It'll do the same speed regardless, with identical error rates, because the protocol hasn't changed. It's simply marketing guff that they can slap on the same product. The "gold-plated HDMI" scam with a fake mustache.
- dale_glass 3y agoI think you've just got some specific situation that's not quite obvious from your comments. It's not at all clear what's being upgraded, what kind of equipment is involved, and why you can predict the effort will be useless.
