Hallo, I need to connect two offices around 600 meters apart with copper. Could anyone please advice me on the best copper modems to use.Their interfaces HAVE to be 100Mbps. Thanks
Hi, When you say copper, do you mean twisted pair ethernet cables? I think the max you cant get out of the is 100m. The shielded more expensive cables could give u longer cable runs.... but 600m sounds even too much for that to me, especially if you really need the 300mbps. My recommendation is that you use a wireless bridge. You can get two Nanostation M5s or M2s in town for about 9k each. They can link up on wireless-N at 300mbps, giving you 150mbps in one direction. For these devices, 600m is really short, especially if they'll be within line-of-sight of each other. On 5/6/11, Frank Kiprono <fkipronoh@gmail.com> wrote:

@Frank If you must go with the copper you can use ADSL modems. Not sure if you can do 100Mbps but 10-20Mbps is practical. Contact Adwest Communciations or DDC East Africa. Sorry dont have the phone contacts. R D On Tue, May 10, 2011 at 8:02 AM, John Doe Smith Kamau KipNg'etich Jones < skunkworks.ku@gmail.com> wrote:

Ok. I donnow of this sounds simplistic but in my days for this distance we'd do fiber end-to-end then have Fiber-to-Ethernet converters, and voila 100mb. Maybe Frank needs to say why it must be copper and what kind of copper 1 pair (If that is still around) or Ethernet. The more descriptive he is the better a solution he'll get. Regards Kiania D.
