while the standard says 100m is the maximum distance, this doesn't mean that 100m is a practical distance. To get to 100m you need to have very high quality cable, good jacks and very good crimping (and, as mentioned earlier, make sure your cable doesn't get anywhere near anything with strong EMF as that will introduce noise. As a practical matter, you should probably never try to get to 100m. Unless everything is perfect you're going to have degraded signal and your transfer rate will suffer. Adding a switch (or hub, if you're not going to be pushing too much traffic down the link) in between is a good way to solve the distance problem since the switch/hub will re-send the signal and boost power to nominal levels along the second segment of cable. tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bopolissimus.blogspot.com http://monotrematica.blogspot.com Parsimony -- Write a big program only when it is clear by demonstration that nothing else will do. -- http://www.faqs.org/docs/artu/ch01s06.html#id2878022 _________________________________________________ Kagay-Anon Linux Users' Group (KLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (http://cdo.linux.org.ph) Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
