Hey

My company needs to create a network link between two buildings.

Currently we have a cat5e network in one building and would like to connect some computers(about 15) in our second building to the main network in the first building.

The distance between the two buildings is 30 metres. The 30 metres means going through a wall from the first building. Going through the car park and then through a wall into the other building. We can run any cables through speed ramps and so we do not need to dig up the road!

Also the second building does not have an Internet connection and so we have to create some sort of cable link so that they can share our Internet connection.

Ideas?

Should we just run cat5e?

Should we run fibre?

Should we run coaxial?
