China, Look in eBay.
I know that for 500/500Mbps service ($50 a month) the fibre-optic cable goes to the home or business and then converted to copper.
I was talking about an internet connection so of course there would be internet. Perhaps you mean Ethernet.
I meant something like this, which is nether internet or Ethernet. There was a card like this (not the exact same one, but like it) in my workstation which connected to another in the storage array, via a fibre optic cable.
I thought you meant something similar, but spanning a wider area than just one server room.
This is getting off-topic so I will not comment on that.
Yeah, that is what the internet is.
Possibly so, heading into the reams of video production pipelines.
Though it is still unsure what the OPâs use case it.
Having looked at on-line solutions, I suspect it is more of an archive type storage, rather than live production media. For that, probably some kind of NAS device would be suitable. As I said before, fibre would be overkill, unless you are sending it somewhere remote, or need it real-time.
Yes. And it often happens that someone is vague about their requirements and others try to guess and that erupts into a long discussion. I hope that dseegersmail either is satisfied with a response and says so or clarifies requirements.
This doesnât seem like it is related to web development at all.
Well yes I learned a bit about fiber 
I thought that I placed this under the category content
You did, but it isnât appropriate there. 
Whether it be photography, audio, video, copy or something else altogether, this category is for all the content that makes your website interesting.
As I understand it, your issue is not with the content itself, but with the best way to store that content. That seemed to me to be General Web Dev, but if it is not web-related then it could be moved to Community, if you prefer.
Cool!, at least I have enough to take with me within the team
As a previous poster mentioned NAS (Network Attached Storage) is a good option for storing rich media files like video.
You can buy premade NAS however they can be expensive. Alternatively you can use an old computer case, three sata drives and via a usb stick you can install FreeNas.
There are some decent tutorials on FreeNas so you could find one that speaks to you and move forward.
Once the hard drives are installed and FreeNAS is running you can plug it into you local area network; even over wifi, and login to the IP ( find in your dhcp leases in your wifi router ) for your FreeNAS. You can then copy files to it.
Your NAS could be configured to share parity so it can work as a safe guarded file storage.
As an aside, you can setup a virtual machine like Docker in the NAS server and set a Linux or Windows virtual machine where you can install the open source FreeBrake to encode your raw videos.
I hope this helps
