Hello,
Will need to deploy 10 or 20 (possibly a lot more later) 2960's for
IP phones and Pcs not quite sure which kit should be upstream. Would
there be a obvious best choice for copper uplink and an obvious best
choice for fiber?
TIA
Martin

Hi Martin,
The answer is... It depends...
Usually you use he 2960's for access switches which uplinks to some
aggregation switches, usually more centralized installed. Whether you use
fiber or copper for the uplink depends on the cablerun.
If the cablerun from access switch to aggregation switch is more than 300
feet, you need fiber.
Most switch platforms used for aggregation may have a large number of
fiber interfaces or a large number of copper interfaces. Therefore it
depends on the aggregation switch.
In most scenarios the choise would be fiber for uplink ports.

Depends on the distances involved, and what you are hooking into.
Otherwise, there's no difference between copper or fiber for how well
it works, the main use for fiber now-a-days is distance considerations.

Depends on the distance.
