From posts I have read here I was under the impression that 1wire would work over Cat5 up to 100m. Not for me. I am testing with one sensor, a waterproof DS18B20 from Adafruit. Longest cable that works is about 45 feet. I have tried a LinkUSB and a HobbyBoards powered master. Using a Raspberry Pi." Correction: I just tested with a 100 feet of different Cat5E and it works. The cable that doesn't work is off a 200 foot length of outdoor Cat5 bought online. What is the chance that this latter cable is faulty. It tests good with a able tester, but that is just continuity. What other factors are there? How can I buy cable and know it's good stuff and not junk?? (I need 170 feet.) I'm on a remote island in B.C. Canada. Cannot go to the corner store and buy more cable.
