Some anecdotal experience on the 100m rule: I recently ran a 90m cat6 line. Needed to get from suite 900 in our building to suite 400. However the conduit all goes to suite 100 (they're all in a row), so it had to go there and back again for a total of about 90m.
I had hoped that the link would work at gigabit speed (which is supposed to work over CAT5e at 100m). Come to find after installing it, the switches would only negotiate 100Mbps. After replacing the short cat5e patch cords going from the patch panel to the switch on each end with cat6 patch cords, the link came up at 1000 Mbps. Just shows how sensitive it gets as speed and distance increase... -- seanadams _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
