We are located at 400 foot on a FM tower, 100,000 watts at the top of 1400 foot.
The total length of CAT 5 is 440 foot or so, and plug directly into a RB532 at the top of the tower (power at the top as well) We ran a felexable conduit up the tower, inside, 16awg solid copper, one black, one white, (for the 110), NO GROUND, and also in that same conduit, we ran good outdoor, sheilded CAT5, UV Resistant (even though it is fully enclosed), and we get a 100meg link without issues for the most part! One thing we did do, is ensure that we were on the other side of all the transmission lines running up the tower. Dennis On 5/22/07, Andrew Niemantsverdriet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I am co located on a tower with an FM transmitter. The FM station runs at 105Mhz. We were running one AP at 10 half duplex to overcome the havoc that the FM station created on our ethernet feed. We now need to run that link at 100 full duplex to be able to handle the traffic coming through it. What are some hints tips tricks to make it work. The cable run itself is 150' of shielded CAT5. It works fine at 10 H/D and it works at 100 F/D most of the time but it will occasionally go down and there is some intermittent packet loss on that link. The run itself terminates into a managed switch. If CAT5 won't work, is fiber my next option? How does that work? I assume that I need power up the tower as well? Any tips to make that happen assuming keeping the existing CAT5 won't work. -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
