[Gb-ccb] Information and advice on optic-fibre ethernet

[Martin Shepherd]

Regarding the optic fibre ethernet at Green Bank. Is this 10BaseFL or
100BaseFX? Also, am I correct in recalling that in both of these
cases, multi-mode fibers are used, and that the fibres have ST style
connectors at each end?

I would also be interested to hear which UTP <-> optic-fiber media
converters you tend to use, and recommend, since there will have to be
one of these in the CCB case. I will need one that can be powered from
DC. Note that I plan to use metal fiber-optic bulkhead couplers to
pass the TX and RX fibers through the wall of the CCB chassis.
