Cat5 distance depends on what you are running. Gigabit Ethernet over Cat 5
has a max distance of 100 meters (appx 300 feet). Slower speeds are more,
although I don't remember the specifics offhand. I'd guess that 2000 feet
is too far. To boost you need a "bridge", although any hub/switch will do
as long as you do not exceed 2 bridging devices before hitting a router.
Search ieee.org on the Ethernet speed you are interested in - they write the
standards.
Can't answer on the cable - way too many years since those classes! I do
know that 16 rabbit ears work the same in any configuration. There's always
one station that needs an adjustment.

Subject: [windows2000] OT: Max length of Cat 5
Hi list,
Does anyone know if there is a practical limit to how long a Cat 5E
cable can be before you'd need to put something in the line to boost the
signal, i.e. a switch or some other device? Is a 150 foot run of Cat 5E
okay? And more so then, how about a 2000 foot run from my house to my
neighbors, assuming I have an anti-squirrel jacket on the cable and
everything.
(to push it even more with off-topic questions... If I have to split
coax cable (like, for TV) into 16 different outputs, is it better to use
a 1-into-16 amplifier/splitter, or use a 1-into-4 and then four
1-into-4's off that?)
Hey, thanks!
Ray at work
