I have one Linksys EtherFast II 10/100 16-port Switch (EF2S16) and I am out of ports. So I was thinking of buying another one exaclty like this one.

Question - Is it worth adding fiber to connect both of these switches or would it be better to save the money i would spend on the fiber connection and buy another hub when needed? Any and all information would be great! Thanks in advance.

Background - these two hub will run through a cat 5 to the other side of the office and connect to the servers. these switches will have about 25 connections on them. (ie. computers, copiers/printers/video equipment, etc... no servers)
