j.,
Sorry. I got metric/US mixed up again. Agree.
But, I still do chafe at the "solid-core" business.
Most of the cat5/6 cables I have looked at do NOT use "solid-core" wire.
I mostly see multiple-strand (tiny) copper wire.
Perhaps the same as the old 18/22 gauge inside-the-home wire of old.
I wonder.............. :)
Best,
Duncan

100m, not feet, with sold core is the spec AFAIK.

JoeUser,
I always thought that ENET cable (cat5/6) was limited to 100ft w/o
some form of 'repeater' like a hub or switch.
?Probably why I use 2 GB switches to stretch my longest run of 65ft.
Thanks. Interesting question............ :)

Hello Hardware List,
I have to put a network in place. It's about 700 ft from the
start to where I need to end it. It's got to be copper. I was going
to run Cat6 (Cat6e?) even though its a 10/100 network and drop a
10/100 switch every 200 ft or so. The switch would serve 2
purposes: 1>
allow an access point and 2> let me run the network without losing
the signal strength. Is this doable? Comments?
