CAT5E

[CESCALES]

HI, NEW AT THIS, WILL CAT5E CABLE WORK FOR A 450 IN HOUSE SPAN?

[jimbopalmer]

no twisted pair scheme is certified for over 328 feet
multimode fiber can do that distance easy (over 700 feet, worst case)


if the 450 was not feet, never mind

I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.

 

[CESCALES]

HI AGAIN, I SAID I WAS NEW THANKS FOR THE COMMENT, IT SHOULD BE 450' (FEET).

CE

 

[skip555]

like jimbopalmer said the max recommended is 100 meters ,328 feet

if you can find a spot somewhere to pop in a small switch at least 122 feet from either end you can extend it that way. otherwise fiber is the way to go .

 

[Servamatic]

Its 90 meters or 295 feet for the horizontal (patch panel to jack), 100 meters includes the patch cords on both ends.
