We need to run this cable underground in a trench 1000 ft. What quality of signal can we expect at the 1000 ft mark?

slim to none .. you are limited to 100 meters (330 Feet) before you need a Repeater/Router to extend it more than that.. so at a 1000ft you would need to install 2 Repeaters .. if it was me and i had to go 1000ft i would use Fiber .. there are Cat5/6 to fiber converters that are fairly cheap, and there is direct burial fiber cable that is cheap enough too .. using fiber @ 1000ft would be no problem then.

Hello Jennifer,I would say the max on this Cat6 cable is roughly the sames as the Cat5e. The maximum I'd run it would be roughly 330ft.Thank you for your question.Taylor W.VIVO

It depends on what type of setup your trying to do. If it's for data you should be fine.

No, you would need to attach it directly to the modem, but you should be able to pick up the signal 1000 ft. away as long as there are not any major obstructions between you and it - rock or stone walls, metal siding, etc.

I started having trouble with the cable right about 100ft. I did have a couple runs about 150ft, but I ended up having to purchase a 1000ft box of 18/2 and run it to just about all the locations over 100ft.

I don't know, but it works fine in my 100' signal application. I'm not drawing power over Ethernet.

okay all you will need is 100 FT cable that should work fine! I have mine in the alley way behind my house i'm thinking its about 40 or 50 ft! and they work just great! Hope this answered ur ?

I believe the technician mistook FEET for METER. According to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers which created the specification Sony adheres to it is 100 meters in the main run, called "horizontal" in some cases, using Category 6 cabling with solid core. Your patch cable, made with stranded cable gives you 10 meters between the device and wall jack. Your stranded cable has higher attenuation than solid cable, if you go over 10 meters on the stranded, reduce the solid accordingly. Just buy some good cabling - cat5, or 6, your choice, for a 10 foot run. Look up Panduit, or Belkin. Cheers. I believe the technician mistook FEET for METER.

you'll need about an additional 5 feet of 10-12-guage 3-wire cable. Don't forget an additional junction box for the connection....

No real idea as 100ft seems a long distance and I did not receive such a long cable. Only cable was a regular cable of approx 10ft. A typing mistake ?

I am currently using 75 ft of cable and reception is as good as I expect. The height of actual antenna makes the most difference in reception. Mount it as high as possible.

Yes, I used CAT 5 wire to run the signal 75Ft. It does not work. I purchased Nextronics instead which work fine for this distance.

Yes, with digital transmission reception will be either great or non-existent. This could be due to cable loss if the run is too long and a line amp may be required. Just my two cents.

I would use a high grade for 100-150 feet, electrical requires thicker wire the longer the run if you will

I use this cable for quiet a few long runs around my business. A few from 300 ft to 350 ft and I have one pushing 390 ft. All of these runs are outside between buildings. However they are all underground in conduit. I get good speed but I don't use poe so I don't know that part. I think I'd use conduit outside

Cat5 on runs this long for this video with power will have signal loss, you need to be running Cat 6 or Cat 6E. Video signal is too great for a run that is this long. I installed this using baluns at a collision repair shop and the longest run was 150ft. I wouldn't push it much further than that unless you have a powered repeater.

The simple answer is that it depends on the length. The longer the run, the larger wire should be used. If it is a few feet, there will likely be no discernible difference. It it is 100' probably the reading would be lower due to the voltage drop.

Cat5 and Cat6 cable is only considered reliable for 100m which is about 300ft plus 20 ft for patch cables. You will need to use an extender unit to boost the signal on both ends.

Yes, but that's not because of the connector- that's because you're laying a 2000 foot ethernet run. Don't EVER do this. Ethernet cables are not meant to be run that long and over runs of this lengh you will have problems on account of electrical resistance- at best, you'll have packet loss and a spotty connection. At worst, you have an electrical fire. Please, for the safety of everyone in your building, break up those 1000 foot cables into runs of 328 feet or less and connect them with repeaters or switches.
