Alright, so CAT5's max recommended length is 100meters/328feet before risk of signal loss.
Bout to do a run and the preferred place where I am going to drop it is going to be at a little beyond that by the time it its a hub and then runs again. Prolly 125meters. 2 lines, one for voice and one for data.
Has anyone here with experience in long runs ever had serious issues with long CAT5 runs? And can the voice line utilize the hub to reboost the signal before it goes on its second leg since it is still CAT5? Or is another phone block needed? This is only going to be for about 6 people.
Thanks.
