So, I tried out adding a 10G connection between my server and main workstation. It worked great, for a bit. I expected the fiber would eventually die, as it was run under the carpet and would get walked on. It died in a few days though. I hoped for a bit longer, to say the least.
I read about armored fiber, but can't find a reasonably priced source. Does one exist? It's not possible to do a proper in-wall install. It would require too much demolition of the house. Can't have it exposed either, so that's about the only way to run the line. Length is about 15M.
If I can't make it work, that's alright. I'll just wait a bit and get a switch with a 10G port and run the server to that. Then live with "just" 1G to the workstations. First world problems and all that.
