asked on 

Data Run Over 2,000 feet?

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to find the best way to run a single cable run of ~2,000ft. This line will provide a 10Mbps internet connection from one building to another.

I've thought of running cat6 and then placing switches/repeaters along the line to prevent signal loss. However, I was wondering if it would be possible or better to run coax and then have ethernet to coax hand-off at either end?

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated!

If you go with 10Base5 co-ax cables, you can go as much as @1500 ft.

Each ethernet switch will give you @100m or 300ft.  Two switches at the end to convert from twisted pair to co-ax and then co-ax in between might work out for you.

I was actually thinking multimode fiber because I can get the transmission equipment (Adtran SFP fiber modules connected to 1234 switches) for cheaper then singlemode.
