We used ReadyLinks Coax to Ethernet bridge model CEB-401 http://www.ready-links.com
We had coax between the buildings but didn't want to pay to have fiber pulled. The throughput is great, certainly near 100mpbs the only problem was That particular model has a really small MAC table, so random machines would keep dropping off the link. I just placed Cisco 3640s on both ends of the coax and renumbered the workstations and its been rock solid ever since. I wouldn't recommend it as your first option, but it works great and saved us from spending a bunch of money pulling fiber.

Has anyone tried the ethernet over coax? Has it improved over the years (they claim to reach 100Mbs)? especially with using Cisco? splitters are still going to be used and I assume there's no Switch 2900,3700 series that cisco can support for these kind of cabling. I was looking into the cables for evaluation to use in Video on Demand solutions. Hope anyone can shed light on the pros and cons for ethernet over coax. regards, chris _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
