Hi all. I got this assignment to map out a huge building with 5 workstations. I need to know the maximum length for standard cabling [gloworange](CAT5 UTP I think) [/gloworange] And if anyone knows any Ausralian sites that sell them please let me know!
Thanks for the help all.
Jonty,
I really shouldn't tell you this, it could easily be found using any search engine... but its maximum length is 100 meters...
Yeah thanks. I was so sure of it but, the only sites I found that sell them only went to 50 metres, which made me think. But thanks for telling me.
