Long reach ethernet
Hi,
I need to have an internal network connection that is about 3000 feet from each end. I try to avoid using LRE, and fber optic is not an option. Does anybody know what is the best way to accomplish this?

Microwave transmitter between the 2 locations with converters. Good for line of site.
I hope this helps !

thanks for quick response,
Internal (because it is within buildings)
Wireless is not an option either.

So if wireless is "not an option" and Fiber is "not an option", what is preventing them from being an option? and would it also mean copper is "not an option"? and if so, aren't you all out of options?

How about giving some more details and what limitations you're facing?
To summarize-
Copper wire:
LRE; limited bandwidth
Serial; may have distance and bandwidth issues
Fiber: by far the best solution
Wireless
WiFi; Line-of-sight and bandwidth issues
Microwave; Line-of-sight and cost issues (a BridgeWave setup is around $25,000)
FSO (Free Space Optics; Line-of-sight and cost issues
Why is fiber not an option?
Why are you avoiding LRE?
What are your bandwidth requirements?
Do you have direct line-of-sight?

a 1km+ run of multimode fiber will give only 10/100Mbit speeds; Gigabit's only good up to 550m on multimode; 10Gbps is achievable out to 300m maximum. If you want gigabit bandwidth with fiber at that distance, go with single mode.

thanks so much for all responses. I am evaluating all the recommended options and will select the best option. I am trying to push for fiber as we all know it is the best option. Points will be shared and awarded today.
Thanks so much
Thanks so much
if external you could go wireless, a couple of access points/bridges and some grid parabolic or directional antennas would do..
just depends on the speeds you need and where its got to go..
