You can use twisted pair with repeaters(or switches) for every 100m(~300 feet) of cable. A better solution might be to use the Long Range Ethernet(LRE) cisco standard. It allows for Twisted Pair cable lengths up to 1,5km(5000 feet) with speeds up to 15mbit. However LRE equipment is quite a bit more expensive than ordinary Ethernet products.

Thank you. &nbsp;I dont know what I was thinking at the time. I had 100 and 20 stuck in my head. You are correct 12x12 is more than enough for copper.<br />

I have to run data cable from the basement D Marc of an office building to the 11th floor wiring closet.<br />
What are my options as it will likley be about 2000 feet. I dont want to spend the money on fibre as it is only till the end of Feb we will be in the building.<br />

Data Cable Run

The term broadband commonly refers to high-speed Internet access that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access. Broadband includes several high-speed transmission technologies such as digital subscriber line (DSL), cable, fiber optics, wireless (for which there is a separate topic), satellite and broadband over powerlines (BPL).

Broadband

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.
