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
What about running Ethernet to another building? Do you have to worry about ground loops? How do you avoid such a thing? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I want an Ethernet cable for zoom classes, inside my house I’ll need a 50 meter cable, is a cat5e gonna work ?? Honestly I just need it for zoom classes
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.
Is armed Ethernet cable classed as weather protected? I need to connect another building about 150m away. Could you send a link to an unmanaged switch as well, it would be much appreciated. Thanks
My root wireless router with internet connectivity is at bedroom and to extend the wireless range I would like to install an dual band router in my living room by running a lan cable from root router to dual band router which might be around 45feet in length...is it acceptable without any additional accessory sir
@@homenetworkgeek192 thank you very much also is having a Ethernet permanently good or no?? Like how long is it good to have for before it’s not good ?
Can anybody help ? maximum cabling length Cat8 is limited to 30m cabling length with 25 Gbps or 40 Gbps. Which is it 25 or 40 Gbps. ? I don't understand this
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.
Answered my problem in the first minute
Thank you for the video. Just bought a 75 ft cat 8 cable for my Xbox one. I hate WiFi for gaming. 😝
How much was it lmao
Did it make your internet better
@@모-m5x as offcourse if you compare with wifi
@@gustavocastrejon8763 $15 probably . They are cheap
Do you lag less? Like lag spikes/teleporting in your games went down?
Ive run 350ft direct burial to my garage, and 300tt above ground and worked fine with cat6
I would be interested to know what brand you used
Good to know, I’m gonna need to buy a long cable for my room, since we have concrete walls and WiFi is shit at getting through that.
be happy youve concrete walls! these damn paper thing drywall ones are 0% soundproof
Lol

Lovely! I've been trying to understand the capacity and distance an ethernet cable can handle. You do a great job explaining this topic.
Thanks
I'm running it from the living room to my room, I'm tired of lagging on the game and my friends clowning me lol

Really great content to the point love your work.
Will a poe box work for long lengths?
If compare a shorter ethernet cable than 100 meters is it the internet speed the same?
Hi thank you for the information. I am having some issues with a cable a bought. It is 10m however is reducing the speed to more than half
love you guys ty for this video

Glad it was helpful!
I have a Cat 6 Ethernet if I drill holes in my wall and connect it to my router 25 ft away would that make my speeds and stuff slower ??
Nope at that distance you won't notice any difference; your speeds will still be what you are used to.
@@homenetworkgeek192 thank you very much also is having a Ethernet permanently good or no?? Like how long is it good to have for before it’s not good ?
@@homenetworkgeek192 how drastic would 100ft go down
Fantastic video!
Great information,
Kept short,
Uses timestamps
Thank you
Is the connection still good at 20-30 meter
It is
How long distance can cover by Cat6 cable ?
The length is the same (100 meters), only the bandwidth changes.
How does an unmanaged switch looks like?
Can a Ethernet cable Cat6 work on my wifi modem
Can i use ethernet cable upto 300M ? & How?
80 to 100 meters lan cable works?
My room is very far from the router maybe like 10-30 meter and i hope it doesnt effect the speed.
Can anybody help ? maximum cabling length Cat8 is limited to 30m cabling length with 25 Gbps or 40 Gbps. Which is it 25 or 40 Gbps. ? I don't understand this
Mine is almost 50ft away will it work well?
You should be fine at 50ft.
Me "is 100ft of CAT 7 too long?"
Internet "Bruh, really?"
What do I use for 650m run??
7 100M Cables and 6 unmanaged switches.
Theoretically speaking endless as long as your cable is long enough
Is there any difference between 50ft and 100ft I have 100fr but 50ft would work also is cat 7 better cat5

How about fiber connections? Will the distance weaken the signal of the router?
Depends on the type; Singlemode can go as far as 2km

@@sneakgaming1171 thanks sir.
Cat 5e does not support 1GBps, though many can be pushed that far. Cat 6+ is rated for 1.25 GBps
Yes it does, I'm using it
This is a funny video to watch when you smoke weed😂 69th comment !
100m.
There I helped you out.
Is a 5m long
Not really you'll be absolutely fine using a 5m cable and wouldn't notice the difference between that a 50cm cable.
