ssnapier 0 Posted February 7, 2012 Well, I had a bunch of leftover cable from a project so I decided to see just how far you can really take this stuff before you start getting data loss. I used one Netgear POE switch, one D-Link POE switch and two Mobotix cameras (one at each end). This is obviously not a perfect test because I had to use multiple connectors, but close enough. At 402 feet, my link speed dropped from 100 mb/s to 10 mb/s, and at 426 feet I could only see the ID of my camera, but I could not connect to it. Just a silly an completely un-scientific test, but if you need to go 401 feet and it is uniterupted, you can probably pull it off pretty easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted February 7, 2012 As you've learned, the 100m/330' "limit" for ethernet isn't a "hard" limit... it's the calculated distance at which packet timing attains delay that's deemed to be unacceptable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
