Hey community,
I’m facing a technical challenge and could really use your expertise. I need to establish a wired network connection between two points 140 meters apart – well beyond the standard 100m limit for Ethernet.
Key Details:
Outdoor installation (connecting two separate buildings)
Requires stable, reliable bandwidth
Must be wired (WiFi isn’t suitable for this application)
Looking for real-world experience:
Has anyone successfully implemented a similar long-distance run?
What solutions actually worked in practice?
Any pitfalls or lessons learned I should know about?
I’m especially interested in hearing about what’s worked (or failed) for others in field deployments.
Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge!
PS: I’m aware fiber is an option, but curious about other approaches that might work with just rj45 cables.
