I would like to go about 300' with at least 10Mbit ethernet. I have a friend that needs about a 150' link and a 50 to 100'. This would allow him to get ethernet down to his shop (lots of ugly power things like welders and wood routers going on there). For me it is to keep away ground loop problems between buildings. If it is faster, that is better. Even if it is slower, that works for this application, but faster is always better :) Gigabit anyone? For most 'real application' I have, even 1 or 2Mbit would be more than adequate. Even knowing how to run a 50' or so at nice speeds might help some 'garage shop' kind of folks that want to connect computerized equipment to a network without dealing with some of the stray induced power issues. TIA... ><> ...
