Here's an interesting fiber question:

We would like to connect a device in building A to another device in
building C using fiber-optic cable. The devices will use either 50/125
or 62.5/125 fiber. The fiber from A to C runs through building B. The
problem is the fiber from A to B is 50/125 and the fiber from B to C
is 62.5/125.

How do we connect together the 50/125 fiber to the 62.5/125 fiber in
building B? I assume simply using a patch cable of either 50 or 62.5
would cause too much loss? Is there any type of fiber repeater or
other such device we can put here?

All suggestions welcome.
