How to and WHEN to change over from a CAT 5 cable to FIBER ends to insulate two METAL buildings 150 feet apart for EMI and RFI deterence

I am doing a new pull in a buried 2" pvc pipe between two metal
buildings. approximately 130-150 feet with 3 90 degree elbows. BEcause
of the 90's I suppose I should use PLENUM rated cables (of either
type) since it's a little tougher and I don't want to knick it up

I am under the impression that the best way to do this is to run CAT5e
or CAT 6 and switch to FIBER at both ends.

OR, better just to run the entire run in FIBER. I know the costs are
higher for fiber materials and I have never terminated any yet in my
"career" as a network installer as I am an Electrical Contractor/
ELECTRICIAN who only does these things on a very limited basis, and
only for customers who understand this. In this case, for my Wifes
employer who is very limited in the money department and this is
mostly as a favor to her.

Awhile back, some may remember my questions about timeclocks on a
network for this same company......................

You guys were very helpful then.........maybe again you knowledgeable
types will come thru again


THANKS,

Roscoe

Look at WiFi instead of fiber or copper. No pulls thru 90 deg. bends
required, and perfect isolation. WiFi does have lower performance and
requires uninterrupted line of sight.

I had mentioned this to the powers that be. We'll see.

Thanks
