If this is for a 500' data run, 300' is your max w/o a repeater. :thumbup: KillJoy No, I am getting a house built and it is about time to wire the whole place. I have tools to terminate and test.

I'd say the longest piece may be 75 ft. no repeater needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 I think I have a box of 6 in my closet, I will look for it when I get home. Not sure if I used it all up yet, but Ive had it since I moved into my new house a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 The last time I used it, I ran a DSL line straight to my phone box, and put the entire house on 1 filter (that was like...3 years ago maybe), after that I lost track of it, but if I find it it's yours.
