If voice copper already runs between the sites, you can use EFM. (Wikipedia EFM) 9000ft upto 6mb over voice copper. And an alternate version (VDSL based) can do minimum 10mb, but not as far.
But when ever cable needs to be run long distances, say over 650ft (two segments with swtich in between), it generally warrants fiber because fiber is also cheap, and then you have expansion.

My initial response is fiber, due to distances. However, you might be able to get away with something less costly depending on requirements. What speed? 10, 100, 1000, 10G. There are lots of Ethernet extenders that can give you speeds to 100 Mbps over coax, copper,. just Google it and you will find plenty. We have used these when fiber is not an option. However, make sure you take grounding between buildings into account as well with stuff like coax/copper. If you can afford it fiber is your best option. * Larry A.

I have a special job to do. I need to connect 4 sites together in a line and provide Ethernet connectivity between them. I may NOT use wireless to do this. I can run overhead cable of most any type I need to. Coax, cat3 or cat5, or even fiber if the price is right... Site 1 to site 2 is 700 ft. Site 2 to site 3 is 900 ft. Site 3 to site 4 is 2400 ft. Looking for options... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
