I was looking for flat LAN cables so it would go under my door to the router located in another room. When I search for "flat ethernet cables" on Amazon, I get a bunch of results on "snagless" ethernet cables.
This is slightly cheaper than flat cables and it's from Belkin. Do the 2 terms mean the same thing (ie. flat/thin)?
I have a couple of questions concerning OM3 fiber optics <link snipped>. As i was searching for a vender to provide the cables needed for a job i have ran into OM2 & OM3 fiber patch cords. Besides the color difference, is OM3 the new revolutionary cable type being used now and days? The specs i have seen between the 2 are quite similar, both are 50 microns

View 1 Replies View RelatedI had one straight through cable connecting one switch and a pc in my office. The cable is approx 90 metres in length. The cable has been cut in between by rat. Now can I join those 2 cables by a coupler, if so will it increase latency, what type of crimping is required, straight through or cross cables. I think 2 cross cables connected by a coupler becomes straight.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI live in a frat and I am currently researching how to design and configure the most efficient network for the house. However, one of the other big problems we have is connectivity of our ethernet cables. We have an IT room with 2 switches that feed ethernet cables to all parts of the house and connect to an ethernet box in the wall where we can simply wire in our internet connection. We have wireless routers too but to keep the bandwidth usage across the WAP's I want to let people use the wired connections. However, many of the connection in the house do not work at all. I plug in my laptop to the wall jack and it gives me the No Internet Access notice. I don't understand why it works in some rooms and not others. All jacks seem to go into the same switches at the other end so I cannot figure out what the problem could be.

I am running in XP and my router is WRT54G2.
ISP : Charter Communications
Modem : Motorola SURFboard SB6121
Router : Linksys E1200
I started out installed on the CD and then I kept getting messages about not being set up and finally it kicked me out. So I started out with the basics, changing out ethernet cables and checking connections. I then tried cycling the modem, router, computer and still no go. As soon as I plug the modem straight back into the computer it kicks back on. So then I tried some other trouble shooting ideas on the forums with the last being MAC address clone, save changes, release renew IP, and finally another round of cycling and I still can't get it to work.

Its a more or less open plan flat so unless I have lead in the walls or something silly like that stopping the signal.What I am trying to do is have a wireless router in the livingroom and then one in the hall way so if I have a laptop in either the livingroom or bedrooms I will still pick up signal from the closest router!I currently have a brand new Netgear DGND3300v2, Netgear DG834PN, Sagem F@ST2504 and a BT Home Hub 2.I have read about having routers act as access points and the like but I am not great with networking to be honest. I have good computer skills so if it is explained to me I can pick it up rather well.I would like the wireless router in the hall way to pick up the internet from the wireless router in the livingroom... wirelessly!

His theory: One of the computers need an ethernet card so 2 crossover cables can be plugged into it.(The MOBOs only have one port to plug in Cat5s)
My theory: Cut 2 crossover cables in half. And put the three ends together so the wires are touching each other, then tape it. For example green to green to green, orange to orange to orange, etc.Here's an example picture: Now I know my theory would work with audio but me co-trainee isn't so sure if it will work with networking.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI purchased a D-Link switch that supports MDI-X so I should be able to use only straight through cables according to the manual. My Router (Wrt54gs) also supports MDI-X, yet when I plug a straight through cable from port 4 on router to port 1 on the switch -> then a straight through from port 2 on the switch to my computer, I don't get an IP address.If I connect a crossover cable from the router to port 1 on D link switch -> then straight through from port 2 to computer, it works just fine.I am going to purchase an extra crossover cable to use for this but I'm really curious as to why it wont work this way? DES-1105 is the model of the switch.

I will have the following connections:
Modem to Router
Router to Switch
Switch to PC
Should any of these be crossovers?
There are 2 locations to choose from. One location requires me to run longer CAT6 cables. 7 of them. The other location requires me to run a longer RG6 cable. (the CAT6 runs would then be about the shortest they could get)So, I guess I need to know which can handle running parallel with power cables better, 25feet of RG6 or CAT6?The parallel with power cable is only for about 6-8 feet, but that's already more than it should be for CAT6.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm an electrical engineer by trade, and fairly inept at networking. That being said, I am looking to extend the maximum range of my networking equipment. I have a job which requires around 500' between switches, and am trying to find a clever way to bridge the gap. The span is direct-burial cat5e, and has very low bandwidth requirements. I know you can buy off-the-shelf range extenders, but they are expensive, so I thought maybe I could avoid it.
1. It my understanding that the lower speed protocols (10 Mbps rather that 100, 1000) have a longer maximum operating length, because they utilize a lower frequency and consequently see a lower impedance. If so, are there network switches that I can force to use the lower baseband frequencies?
2. Should I bother trying to find a cable with the lowest characteristic impedance (or will they all be similar)? Cat 5e is pretty good, yes?
3. Should I do half or full-duplex; is this something I can control as well?
4. What network switches are cheap and allow this type of configurability?
5. If I attach other switches to the ends of this 500' ethernet bridge with auto-negotiating feature, will there be any conflicts or they will all get along?
tell me the reasons that could cause the decreasing of the bandwidth in the TP cables? just 3 or 4 (main) reasons.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI bought a DIR-655 last week and have a very odd problem: have set up the DIR router after my Modem/Router Netgear DG834 when i connect a laptop with LAN cable to one of the LAN ports on the DIR i can access internet without any problem.When i search wireless network from my laptop the DIR turns up and have excellent reception(4-5bars).
This works fine when i start for ex. google, but then after clicking on a link or trying to access any other webadress, the internet disconnects?? (i still have excellent reception between the router and laptop.)It also seems that the internet connection is reestablished automatically after 1-2 min, but disconnects again after a few minutes. I have the same issue with WII, the WII console finds DIR but when I'm trying to update the firmware in the WII console the connection stop working.
One more Q: when i connect LAN cable from modem to DIR i get no internet access, should it be that way? How u are suppose to connect LAN cabels between modem/DIR/stationary PC?
In what order the 8 cables go into the octal plug.The cable is a X.21.DTE 8 LEAD OCTAL part No 72-1100-01. The cables are not in numerical order (as in 0 to 7 as per the serial ports). I'm trying to trace cables and don't have a spare cable to examine. So far I think the order is 0,4,5,1, 2,6,7,3?
