Just another note: There are only 3 location (A,B,C) A is the main location with a working network B is about 550 feet away from A and C is about 400 feet from B

I believe they are just installing 1 Computer at B & C

I would be just installing the fiber and the data company will be installing the fiber adapters
Like I said, every situation will be different. In the case of my one customer, they deploy the cisco switches that have two fiber adapters in them. So each switch is only capable of connecting to two others. In certain locations, they have 4+ switches. So in essence its one big daisy chain. In your case, given the use and distance, I would just pull a 6 strand to each location for a home run. More options and fewer points of failure and db loss.
