The purpose of this paper is to guide premise wiring telecommunications specialists through the decision making process regarding future optical fiber cabling implementations for LAN environments. One will go through the latest technology updates and information to simplify the process and assist the reader in making the wisest decisions for both near and long term requirements. As in most telecommunications articles, there is a classic networking introduction, which sets the stage for what is to come. This paper will not deviate from this approach but will proceed rather quickly.
