Exactly Skip! Don't give them the option. Premade fiber lines have dropped in price quite a bit making it more affordable now.
If you have any phone lines running between the two buildings, you can also salvage a couple of old SDSL modems and use a dry pair of copper between them.

I didnt offer the option. It was his suggestion. Either I do it his way or he will find someone else. I am not one to give money away.
Not all customers are pushovers. This guy knew what he wanted before he ever called.
I am also not in the habit of argueing with my customers. I made the suggestion that it be fiber, he declined. So there ya have it. I got paid to give him what he wanted. When the copper gets blown out, I will get paid again to replace it with the fiber as I had originally suggested.

Understand that it does not even take lightening to cause trouble on the LAN system. Even a high static electricity level in the air can do damage.Did I tell you how a close lightning strike a few weeks ago fried the ethernet port on our network printer and the router port on the other end? And- all the wiring is in the building basement! -Hal

not to mention bandwidth, a single cat-5 isn't good back bone to connect buildings.
