I have a 73-meter Cat5e connection extending from your home to your shop. Your ProSafe switches operate at 100Mbps, but you aim for 1000Mbps. When you power cycle one switch, it briefly reaches 1000Mbps before dropping back to 100. As a beginner, could you get advice on ways to improve the connection? Thank you! EDIT: I can't install a booster between both buildings.
I also handled the wiring. Could you let me know what went wrong? Thanks.
Ensures proper outdoor protection with a grounded connection at each end. Outdoor Ethernet cables are designed to handle more interference outside, which is why graded versions exist. Additionally, a frequent issue when crafting your own cables is improperly crimping the RJ45 connectors. I noticed my tool sometimes doesn't perform consistently unless I slightly adjust the connector position and add an extra or third crimp for even contact throughout.
Negotiation topics mostly involve ending agreements. With longer projects you have limited flexibility compared to shorter ones (minimal losses, stronger ties). Try adjusting one or both ends, or alternatively, I could lay fiber to lower the risk of disruptions.
Grounding at both ends is necessary for outdoor Ethernet cables, helping reduce lightning danger. I still think fiber optic would be the best choice overall.
Confirm if both prosafes are gigabit switches. Access one typically to run a cable test. At 73m the results can offer a rough estimate, but short cables often indicate issues rather than success. Ensure proper termination of cables—leave some twists when possible. The insulation must be inside the RJ45 connector, with blueish insulation visible along its length. You might need shielded twisted pair if external RF interference is present; longer cables are more prone to such problems. Have you tested this cable before deploying it?
