A switch would act as a repeater but I would make sure it is one that can handle the load you will be pushing down this pipe. Otherwise any chance of switching that Cat 6 run with a fiber run?

Greetings! Not an MS issue, but… A bit over a year ago, we had a new telephone service provider. Their system comes in on fiber. At the building DMARC, one DS-3 is split into three DS-1 lines and comes into our telephony gateway. We’ve been having assorted problems since May. Some problems have been traced to provider problems (bad router cable, bad MUX port), and some to the gateway hardware. However, some remain a mystery. We have had that CAT 6 run between the gateway and the DMARC, and it is just a wee bit long – 348 ft (and the standard says 308 ft maximum). It will probably be suggested to us that we install a repeater somewhere along this run. Any recommendations? Again, we have three lines that need a bit of a boost for the last 40 – 50 ft.
