What is the maximum length for an ethernet cable to be connected to this switch? Is 50ft too long?

50 feet shouldn't be too long. In general, about 300 feet is the maximum for an Ethernet cable.

I am not a network expert, but based on my experience with this switch, I estimate that it is connected to my router by a run of CAT5 in total about 60 feet (upstairs office over to outside wall, down to 1st floor, across long room and then over and up to where switch is on a bookshelf...this includes an in-line coupler so I could use two cables I had on hand). One of the devices connected to the switch is my Samsung TV that I use for streaming video from my file server.

I am not sure about a maximum cable length. I would keep your cable runs as short as possible and make sure your connections are tight. The kit comes with 20 foot 30 foot and a 50 foot lengths of cable and I do believe it is standard RG6 coax which carries a signal a long way.

About 6 feet for power and 10 3 meters for sensor. I spliced CAT 5 network cable to extend the sensor cable to 45 feet and the power cable to 15 feet.

the limitation is not poe the limitation is for the ethernet. Look in the specs for the cable you are using.

The wire size is not stamped or laser imprinted on the outside insulation jacket of the cable, my best guess is somwhere between 18 Awg and 22Awg. If you need to know exact you might want to get in touch with blue rigger. I do know that 50 foot runs are awful long and you need to consider signal loss as a possible issue, if you do have signal loss try using a signal booster. Thanks

Cat 5e can be extended up to 300 feet. I have 2 cameras on this system connected on two 250ft cat5e runs and both cameras work great.

It is 14 gauge and 100' long. Remember it is never advisable to hook 2 50' cords together.

Yes, mine came with an Ethernet cable that was about 6 feet (actually about 70 inches).

Hi Lois, I believe it is 50' but I needed longer so I took the cable I got with the lamp set and went to the hardware store and got the additional cable I needed then spliced it together. It worked fine and I've never had a bit of trouble. Donna

Hello C. Fan,We have tested PoE with this cable, and it does work. What length were you looking to run?Thank you for your question.Taylor W.VIVO

Rj, I'm not sure, I only used it to test CAT5 over about 50 feet and coaxial cable about the same distance. It worked great.

Amazon may be using the box size (for shipping reasons) but the TP Link dimensions you have listed are accurate. BTW: I have not had a single problem with this switch. I plugged it in and it has been trouble free. Also, I tested internet speeds before and after the switch and there is barely a difference.

The max distance you can run Ethernet is 100 meter or approximately 328ft. Unless you're using some kind of exotic equipment other than standard Ethernet switches, you'll want to look at fiber instead. That being said, if you're running this for POTS phone, you'll be fine.

The maximum we tried was a 50 foot cable and it worked fine. You will need to check with mfg. for maximum specified length.

This is copper clad aluminum... Not quite as high quality. You may want to look at the Ethernet standers.. I believe it only goes about 300 ft.

Yes, but that's not because of the connector- that's because you're laying a 2000 foot ethernet run. Don't EVER do this. Ethernet cables are not meant to be run that long and over runs of this lengh you will have problems on account of electrical resistance- at best, you'll have packet loss and a spotty connection. At worst, you have an electrical fire. Please, for the safety of everyone in your building, break up those 1000 foot cables into runs of 328 feet or less and connect them with repeaters or switches.

They have pre-assembled connectors on both ends, so it's hard to tell. However, it should be within cat5e specification, and I have run POE devices over it without any problems so far. If I have occasion to cut any of the ends off I will let you know what I find...
