Structured cabling best practices

Hi,

Could anyone help me with best practices concerning structured cabling for a new 14,000 sqm phased development, comprising of multiple buildings and offices.

In each building there is the potential for up to 900 connections.

I come from a background where traditional UTP cable for intra office is used and fibre for inter office connections.
Would this still be an appropriate design methodology or would fibre to the office offer greater benefits - cost is not a consideration for this.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Re: Structured cabling best practices

At one of my sites, we inherited fibre to the office (FTTO). With the PCs relevant to that long gone, we were not going to buy fibre cards for each of our PCs. So we wired the place up with Cat 6 (for the long time in the future when PCs would have 10 gig cards).

Most of our campuses are as you described so that inter-office connection is by fibre and intra-office by Ethernet. That would be my recommendation.

An alternative for inter office connectivity could be wireless Ubiquti do some very nice kit, It's used a lot in places like business parks for deploying internet connectivity from the main office to units etc.
