Re: Extending broadband to outbuilding-help appreciated

I've tried using my 230v kit on an industrial system, but it refuses to co-operate.

I'm sure it's just a phase though.

If the distance was substantially greater than the 90 metres, would using a Fibre Link make any sense, both technically and cost?

--------------------------

At the outbuilding end, use a spare Router as the WAP, whether Fibre+Converters or Ethernet for the long haul.

I would probably just buy a drum of better cable (CAT6) and give it a go. The cost of the fiber converters make trying the Ethernet cable the simpler thing.

Have you seen the cost of External Cat6e? 80metres will be enough rather than have 200+m being wasted.

CAT6 yeah around £60 for 100m

Still cheaper than 2 media converters and fibre with ends already on it

Exactly, so getting a drum would leave about 220m unused - around £140.

The £60 was for a 100m drum, not all drums are 300m long smile

...but eckiedoo's analogy is for 'substantially greater than the 90 metres', which I take to mean also greater than 100 metres.
