I bought a spool of 500 foot cat5e at homedepot for $60 on sale. It didn't work at 500 feet so I cut it at 400 feet the length of my run. It played a couple songs but after a few minutes wouldn't recognize my network. I was told I could force squeezebox to operate at 10mbps and that may allow the signal to reach the 400 feet? How do I do this? Is there a switch I can use that can get electricity from the ethernet cord so I don't have to run an extension cord to the switch? If not I'd like to run the switch 100 feet from termination so I'm only using a single one hundred foot extension cord instead of two daisychained together although this means from the switch to squeezebox will be around 300 feet. Am I definitely guaranteed to make a 300 feet run from switch? If I don't will I be able to resplice the ethernet cable to different lengths
