    Gould question. One colleague told me ne that theu get run a Cat7 connection with a 120 m cable length. Ethernets cables should be installed installed with 10 cm or more distances to high voltage cable. One thing is the shielding must be grounded over the patch panel to keep away any noises from outside to the cable. I don't know if the link speeds is down to 100 Mbit. You can't expect the highest performance at this over length. But some data it will work. For connecting buildings fiber is my better. You don't have any issues with different ground potentials and floating currents. The buildings are electrical isolated with fiber.

    I have a run that I need to make in a warehouse, 578feet. Client doesn't want to drop a ton of money, which we could get away with using cat6e, but fiber would be optimal.
    If you have to do a run that is longer than 250 feet, I would recommend using a switch. In our case it's Modem -> switch1 -> 250feet -> router1 | switch1->switch2->router1 | switch2 -> router2.
    The reason why I went with this setup for our run, is if switch2 goes down, router 2 is can run off of switch1. This limited areas of failure and since this was for a warehouse, failure is bad. Do not use one switch and run everything off of it, that switch goes down, then everything else is down

    Vid is very informative. Only thing I'd like to add from personal experience working right at the 100m length with direct burial rated cable that you must crimp your own ends. I can't stress enough how important it will be to your sanity to invest in name brand crimper tools and name brand connectors. In my case Klein brand passthrough connectors and crimping tool finally fixed an intermittent dropout problem that caused me much headache using cheap crimpers and connectors. It's one of the few tools I believe in buying high end now. Again, great video otherwise.

    • @HarrySwettenham26
      @HarrySwettenham26 3 роки тому

      No need, Cat 7 has never officially been endorsed and doesn't conform to international standards.
      No difference between 50ft and 100ft on Cat 5e, you will get 1 Gbps up to 328 feet.
      Cat 6a is a good future proof as you can get 10 Gbps up to 100m (328 feet). Check the price and see if this works out a little bit more expensive as it saves you ever running the cables again. The motto, do it once, do it right comes to mind.

      @@christianbagtas2819 Well, how long is your run? What are you going to use it for? Fiber is expensive. If you want to go fiber you need a switch that needs a sfp port or get a sfp to rj45 converter. I would go for multimode since singlemode is very very expensive. Multimode will get you between 200-500m range. Depends on the module + cable. OM3 is my recommendation.
