Description
As more bandwidth and reliability is demanded in enterprise networks, so are the accessories that enable these speeds. Fiber could be considered as the next generation to Category 5 copper as end-users are making the transition to fiber in their networks This report looks at the various media types (Category 3 copper, Category 5 copper, single-mode fiber, and multi-mode fiber) and the propensity of organizations to use it to their desktops and in their enterprise backbones. The study looks through the year 2000 and discusses the major players as well as the trends in media.
