@David<br><br>I think Gregory has a good point. It is cost effective to use copper if u are to do it on your own, especially if it is within the same compound. <br>However, your challenge is the 500m distance. This may not be covered using copper and thus the best option is to obtain a fiber link through a provider. This way, you don&#39;t have to cater for civil works, trenching license, terminal equipment e.t.c <br>

If there is already existing infrastructure from a provider within that location, fiber is a good option. For you setting up the link yourself, copper is the way to go.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><div><br></div><div><br>

<br>
Supposing I wanted a network link to connect two premises 500 metres<br>
apart; Between copper and fibre optic what would be the Skunkworks<br>
choice?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
David<br>
