Networking Cable

Post by Azgard »

Hi
<BR>
<BR>I was wondering if anyone here could help me with the following, or point me to a site where I can find this out.
<BR>
<BR>How much does Coaxial and Fibre-Optic cable cost per metre. And how much do the NICs and anything extra you need to use the cables cost? I have looked around on the net but I have found anything. <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_frown.gif">
<BR>
<BR>Thanks

<BR>I know Co-Ax isn´t really used anymore but I need to find costs for that kinda cable to a school project. Also do you know any prices for Fibre-Optic cable and network cards that support it.
