Re: [MBZ] Airport Express
No loss of efficiency over very long runs. At the school that I work at, we have a number of intermediate data frames in each building, and the fiber runs between these and the main data frame are easily 100+ feet or more. If you have the hardware that can use fiber, you can pick up pre-terminated cables on eBay for very little coin. I haven't had to buy any in a long time, so I'm not sure what kind of $$ we're talking about, but it's not that much more than CAT6, IIRC.

Re: [MBZ] Airport Express price
Uh, I'm not sure where that number came from, but you're not going to get one from the Apple refurb store for $18. Current refurb price is $79. MacDan --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Interesting.

The high price of their stuff has been what's always deterred me from trying it. Eighteen bucks must be resold stolen goods.

Re: [MBZ] Airport Express
No loss of efficiency over very long runs. At the school that I work at, we have a number of intermediate data frames in each building, and the fiber runs between these and the main data frame are easily 100+ feet or more. At work we have miles of fiber on spools for testing. Works great, or should, anyhow. There is short- and long-haul fiber, the prices for transceivers and fiber are _very_ different! -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] Airport Express
Airport Express looks like it plugs into a 110v socket? That's all. Plug your printer into it plus the cable from the cable modem. No configuring at all unless you want to make your network secure.
