What kind of cable is required for stringing coax RG58 10Base2 Ethernet outdoors (in sunlight) around 500 ft?<br>

 
Contact the company where you are buying from.<br>
They will advise you best.<br>
I guess you know 600ft is the limit for 10Base2 (the 2 stands for 200 meters actually 185 (by the book)<br>
<br>
otherwise use 10Base5 or 500 meters<br>

Like DougP said,you can't use 10Base2 for wiring 600ft and that was not cable problem but which Network Base you use. Coax RG58 that is pretty good for outdor wiring. <p>TONNI<br><a href=mailto:uatnehc@bdg.centrin.net.id>uatnehc@bdg.centrin.net.id</a><br><a href= Forum</a><br>
