re: Connecting buildings with fiber

OP - If any existing switches have SFP ports, those can be used in place of media converters. All that matters is that the SFP modules on either end of any 1 fiber match. You can have a module at 1 end plugged in to a SFP port in a media converter and at the other end a module plugged in to a SFP port in a switch. So if you already have a switch at building B which has 4 or more SFP ports, you won't need any media converters there.
I don't have any existing switches with those ports. Right now everything is Cat6. I'm expecting to get all new equipment with the exception of the current router/modem from the ISP and mesh networks at each location.
Also, is pulling 800 ft of cable going to be more difficult than I think? I don't want to underestimate this.
