The plan is down from patch panel in house, below ring foundation, then rise up at the nearest corner of garage and conduit across to back corner. That way its a straight run and the shortest path. My current path around the fence adds about 24 metres per run. > If it's only data you don't need to go deep - 10cm will do There's power for the cameras too, but that's not enough to make a difference > Do you really need 10 CATx cables to your garage?

Yes - one or two for data, the rest are currently used for analogue video back to a security recorder. Theres no noticeable problems due to the current length, and they all run together at this time.
The machine with the grabber card is not quiet, so its not going in the house. Plus, not needing to run a switch in the garage for two machines simplifies the network. Thanks all for the input - I've now got some digging to do :) -- CF _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Linux-users@lists.canterbury.ac.nz http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
