I want fast file transfers between Win 7 computers using fiber optics, but I don't want the expense of buying a fiber switch.
Can I buy two fiber expansion cards and connect the computers with a fiber cable directly? I know a crossover cable is required to do this using Ethernet. Is there a crossover-type issue with fiber, and if so will the cards do the conversion?
1Why fiber? Also think about 10Gbit Ethernet which is still expensive, but still cheaper than fiber. – Jens Erat – 2011-11-04T16:01:32.423
