Once you take in the cost of primary and secondary protection for copper, your cost for fiber is very close.
You're assuming that CGs even consider protection for copper circuits. Isn't lightning just another form of POE?  Sam

It's not just CG's who ignore the regulations (and ethics) of protection. Telephone contractors and Sparkies are just as much to blame, too.
A large (100 employees) telecom contractor (unlicensed, by the way) on Long Island has a policy of only installing secondary protection on copper inter-building cables.

I have never run fiber before. It would need to be run overhead from building A to buildings B and C. I am installing data racks in each building for those buildings premise cabling. The fiber would allow network connections from the server in building A to buildings B and C. I also need the capability to run connections from the Vodavi STSe KSU in the building A to buildings B and C. Is that possible over fiber and what kind of material/equipment would I need to accomplish this with fiber. Like I stated I am in an area where there has not been much need for fiber, so never have had a reason to use it on any jobs. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I think that would be best suited for a new topic...
