asked on
Network cable
Good morning,
I need to run a network cable from one office to another, which is about 130 mtrs away. between the two locations is a large yard with no power points in between. Is there any data cable out there that would reach this distance ? I know that Cat 5e is only rated at arount 90 mtrs. What about Cat 6 -is this better on distance or is there any other options.
Ps VPN is out of the question due to Very slow upstream.
Thanks V much for any help

OK, wireless is sounding more like the biz now, that's if it will work.
Not quite sure how to go about this though, Could i rig up an external antenna to building A then connect this to my Belkin router and do the same at the other end.
Or do i need special wireless equiptment for extenal gear.
thx

Our budget is quite low, and i think using a fibre cable would be far too expensive.
(not sure on that, but i've herd it is)
Plus i know the company would not pay for a external party to install it, this would mean i would have to install. How ard is it to terminate fibre etc ?
Wireless - I've had loads of problems in the past, dropping off etc, anyway i don't think i know of any equiptment that is powerfull enough to reach this sort of range.
I'm familiar with the home/office belkin and netgear wireless, thats it.
I think i will just try a run of cat6 cable, even though i know the limits, i've herd of people running this upto 150mtrs and working fine. I can run it along side the fench all the way up to top building, around 130mtrs.
If anyone thinks this 100% will not work then please say so and i will not waste my time.
Thanks
