Note ours only does up to 1 gig fibre, there may be a model that does 10 gig

We bought a "Fluke Networks LinkRunner AT 2000 fiber" in March at a cost of £1191 ex VAT, very expensive for us at the time. However a superb piece of kit and I consider it has paid for itself already in troubleshooting network issues.

We use two WatchGuard XTM 535's - so an internal and external with a DMZ in the middle, web filtering is via Smoothwall on our own hardware.

I agree that a new cable run is always the way to go if there is budget to do it and you have switch capacity to do so.
