[AFMUG] Sharing internet connection between buildings

I've got a client that needs a network line installed from their house to another building but they are on separate power meters. I understand that running a cable between two different ground points is not advisable. Is there a way around this? A wireless link isn't an option at this point.

Fiber or copper ethernet plug run a 6awg ground cable between breaker panels. On Wed, Aug 25, 2021 at 11:54 AM Jay Weekley wrote: > I've got a client that needs a network line installed from their house > to another building but they are on separate power meters. I understand > that running a c

Re: [AFMUG] Sharing internet connection between buildings

Jay, I would do a fiber run between the buildings. These are nice on both ends https://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-Switching-Capacity-Protection-TEG-S51SFP/dp/B019IHWSF0/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=Teg-s51sfp&qid=1629908139&sr=8-2 Get some a couple of transceivers and terminated fiber. -- Best reg

It's an option but I'm trying to minimize my involvement in the support department. The do have an IT guy but I'm not sure how familiar he is with fiber. Mark - Myakka Technologies wrote: Jay, I would do a fiber run between the buildings. These are nice on both ends https://www.amazon.com/

Re: [AFMUG] Sharing internet connection between buildings

Ethernet has no ground reference. It's a differential signal. If you're using shielded cable, only ground one end (or neither end), and you'll be fine. bp On 8/25/2021 8:53 AM, Jay Weekley wrote: I've got a client that needs a network line installed from their house to another building but

Re: [AFMUG] Sharing internet connection between buildings

It's going to be connected to a switch on both ends. Will that be a problem? Bill Prince wrote: Ethernet has no ground reference. It's a differential signal. If you're using shielded cable, only ground one end (or neither end), and you'll be fine. bp On 8/25/2021 8:53 AM, Jay Weekley wrote

Re: [AFMUG] Sharing internet connection between buildings

We put a surge protector on both ends when we did this.  Each one grounded to the ground rod on it's respective building. Before we did that we'd blow switch ports with every lightning storm.  After we did that no more blown ports.  Maybe Bill's way works too, but one SS or two SS is not that

Re: [AFMUG] Sharing internet connection between buildings

That's kind of a basic networking question, what's the overall topology look like? Does this second building already have internet and you're back feeding? Is this fiber connection between the two buildings the only way the second building gets online? Josh Luthman 24/7 Help Desk: 937-552-2340 D

Re: [AFMUG] Sharing internet connection between buildings

The first location is a house with internet and the second location needs it. It's not the only way to get the second location on line. I'm just looking for the most bullet proof solution that will minimize support calls. Josh Luthman wrote: That's kind of a basic networking question, what's

Re: [AFMUG] Sharing internet connection between buildings

Our policy is that the most bulletproof solution is to sell a second service to the other house. On Wed, Aug 25, 2021 at 12:39 PM Jay Weekley wrote: > The first location is a house with internet and the second location > needs it. It's not the only way to get the second location on line. > I'm

Re: [AFMUG] Sharing internet connection between buildings

Powerbox Pro on the outside of the first house. Cat5 ether1 into first house with a power supply. Plug in customer router there. Then run fiber from Powerbox Pro to second house. I do a /32 IP for each customer so I can shut them off individually, all done in the Tik. Josh Luthman 24/7 Help De

Re: [AFMUG] Sharing internet connection between buildings

Should not be. Ethernet is ethernet. With just the ethernet connection between the two switches, there would still be no ground connection. bp On 8/25/2021 9:56 AM, Jay Weekley wrote: It's going to be connected to a switch on both ends. Will that be a problem? Bill Prince wrote: Ethernet h
