| 1231625 | 2011-09-16 21:31:00 | As a community group we are wanting to get an internet connection to a DVR 80 meters external line of site distance. Which way should we go - cable or wireless? Have a budget of about $750. Appreciate any informed comments! Thanks |

| 1231626 | 2011-09-16 23:38:00 | Personally I'd go cable as the wireless may have problems, the further away from the source the lower the signal strength. Ethernet cable can easily handle 100Mtrs before problems may start. | wainuitech (129) | ||

| 1231628 | 2011-09-17 02:06:00 | The colour doesn't mean a lot, but external cable, designed to be outside would be better/harder wearing than std cable (they come in lots of different colours)My cables that run from the house to the workshop are all in electrical conduit, buried under ground, only std cable, mainly for protection -- its a real bugger if you are digging and cut through a cable :( | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1231629 | 2011-09-17 02:18:00 | Thanks again - would be in a 50mm duct | stuffed (1469) | ||
| 1231630 | 2011-09-17 03:37:00 | Wainui: I have heard from an electrician that networking cable and electrical wires are not meant to run along side each other for straight lengths due to interference from the electrical current field, how have you overcome this issue? | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1231631 | 2011-09-17 03:49:00 | No electrical wires in this duct. | stuffed (1469) | ||
| 1231632 | 2011-09-17 04:52:00 | Use shielded network cable | gary67 (56) | ||
