OT: Cable Lengths [7:74776]

2003-09-04 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have a question regarding the max length for a 100BaseT cable. Granted I haven't done a wealth of research on this so feel free to point me to google if the answer is mind numbingly simple, which it probably is I have always understood the 100M limitation on 10BaseT ethernet cable to be

looking at it practically, you can run cable at 150 m and still make it work. but the question is, will it meet the reference crieteria. there are a lot of things to be looked at here of which an important factor is attentuation. -Nakul [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've seen situations where the legal length has been nearly doubled on full duplex connections without much apparent trouble. I don't know if I'd trust a Windoze box in this kind of configuration, but routers, unix hosts, etc, don't seem to mind too much. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a

The diameter of a 10Mbps Ethernet collision domain is much bigger than 100m (you can calculate it from the smallest allowed frame size, the transmission speed, and the signal propagation speed), so that limit is most definitely not based on collisions. Thanks, Zsombor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Windows *sucks*. I've seen it act stupid in lots of situations where a FreeBSD laptop with the exact same configuration works just fine. I don't have a technical explanation - I'm attributing it to excessive bad karma. Dom wrote: I've seen situations where the legal length has been nearly
