As others have noted, Ethernet can easily handle 200 feet. But PoE might be a different story. If your antenna-end equipment doesn't provide for PoE but only needs low voltage, you can get a pair of PoE adapters fairly cheap. Put one on one end to put output of the power brick onto the wire and one on the other end to take it back off. But there will be current loss over that distance so you may have to start with a higher voltage. Measure to be sure. I don't see why Jeffrey needs a computer at the antenna end. An AP should be quite enough (though some APs are essentially small computers). -- Dave Close, Compata, Costa Mesa CA "A difference has to make a [EMAIL PROTECTED], +1 714 434 7359 difference in order to be a [EMAIL PROTECTED] difference." --Wendell Johnson --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SOCALWUG" group.
