Re: Network cabling

Yes. But I was thinking to put the switches in a way in which I don't
exceed 100 meters.
Some repeaters could also be used, I guess. Right?

I like this idea.

This means that I won't have problems(noise) if I connect the buildings
with STP?
Probably the cable has to go in the air. Probably it will be good to fix
it on another, let's say steel wire. Right? Are there any other things I
should concern about when using STP cables outdoor?
Like I said I never did this before...

What other hardware is needed for the optical fiber network?
Can someone point me to some docs about this kind of network? If you
know one from the head...If not I can google for myself :-)

Thanks.
I will need some luck...
