Ordered some SPF copper gigabit modules.  Perhaps they will work better?

I have a water tower with ~165 of cat5 (not e) Superior Essex armored 
25-pair with GigE links running just fine.

We use a lot of these Mikrotik 24 port rack mount switches.  Does anyone else 
have trouble getting there copper ethernet ports to hold 1Gbps connections on 
around 150 foot cat-5 runs with APC surge arrestors?

I have had this issue with PMP450i gear doing sync over power but now I am 
having the issue with SAF Lumina gear as well and there is no sync over power 
there.

Yes, I meant cat-5e.  We typically use Apex9 shielded outdoor with ez
shielded connectors.

No way.. Cat5 maybe. Who uses that? I would assume he means cat5e. Which
should have no trouble holding 1g link at 300+ feet.

At a previous job a customer didn't want to put fiber in to a remote
building so we pulled cat5e 550'. The only test that failed on the fluke
dtx-1800 was length.

We use a lot of these Mikrotik 24 port rack mount switches.  Does anyone else 
have trouble getting there copper ethernet ports to hold 1Gbps connections on 
around 150 foot cat-5 runs with APC surge arrestors?

I have had this issue with PMP450i gear doing sync over power but now I am 
having the issue with SAF Lumina gear as well and there is no sync over power 
there.
