The routerboard 44 lists support for cable distances of 150M. Does this also apply to the routerboard 532/anything with a Via VT6105 chipset? Does one need a Via chipset on either side to accomplish this or can one side be just a standard switch? Anyone ever tried this?
Thanks

hi
I've just commited a test
cable length - 152m
cable category - 5e
results can be viewed here http://slawomirsikora.blogspot.com/2007 ... rb532.html

Re: Routerboard Extended Ethernet >150M
Would PoE from a 12v DC source be likely to also work over this distance?The routerboard 44 lists support for cable distances of 150M. Does this also apply to the routerboard 532/

No. Use an 18v with some excess current.Would PoE from a 12v DC source be likely to also work over this distance?The routerboard 44 lists support for cable distances of 150M. Does this also apply to the routerboard 532/

about 500ft
Shows with 18.4 v input is required for 12v and you will dissipate .01w per foot. That is about 5w or .3a from a 18v input.
