What is the difference between this product and the copper one? I am using it to establish an internet connection to an outside bldg apprx 400 ft away

You could use something like this. StarTech.com 10/100 VDSL2 Ethernet Extender Kit over Single Pair Wire - 1km which I found here on Amazon. The alternative is probably to find a fiber option but I am pretty sure this will be the more economical solution.

You can safely go 700 feet between routers with this product without signal degradation. The "copper one" has a limit at about 400 feet or less.

Cat5 and Cat6 cable is only considered reliable for 100m which is about 300ft plus 20 ft for patch cables. You will need to use an extender unit to boost the signal on both ends.

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.

I am sure what you mean by copper. However cat5 cable length is recommended to be 300 ft and lengths beyond specification and may not work reliably. Consider setting up a wireless link between the buildings.

200' with good cable (solid copper) is safe... If you use cca cable, try not to go over 100'. You need to start increasing voltage when you go farther.

I can not give you a answer to the question that you have asked. I used mine to increase the network connection for my PC from 10/100 to 10/100/1000. It works fine for my purpose. Ask more people!! Regards Bob

I don't know. For me, going longer distances I've used Ethernet and other methods achieving pretty functional and reliable results for extreme distances (e.g., windows remote - a free tool with windows (PC). Good luck,

On the antennas I purchased they were both copper one had four loops one had three loops. Three loops is sending and four loops was receiving. Hope this helps you

I'm not a pro so I will answer the question the best I can, There are differences in the wires sold today and what existed in the past have improved greatly, and certain wires are used for various applications, I would check with someone with a little more experience, My internet cable is connected with an old wire as well and I have not noticed any speed problem, Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

I would advise against it, as this particular product is CCA wiring. That means copper clad aluminum. It is not solid copper. That means degraded performance and not true Cat5e. This is especially a problem as you get closer to the range limit of true Cat5e (100M or 328ft). I would look for Cat5e that is advertised as solid copper and UL Verified for professional use (Using CCA in a commercial setting would be considered highly unprofessional). If you are using this for your home, it is your choice but I still don't recommend it. I would also like to add if you still really, really want to use CCA you can find it cheaper than this (about $40). Solid copper Cat5e costs about $75-$80, making this particular CCA cable an even worse choice because you're not even saving any money.

Yes, I purchased both this 100ft version (for work) and the 200ft version (for home) for POE to go between a Ubiquiti NanoStation similar to http://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-US-FCC-NSLOCOM5-NanoStation-loco/dp/B004EHSV4W/ref=pd_sim_pc_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=05M4XZC33RSEYQVZ5XGT outside and its POE injector inside the building. My internet access in both locations is totally dependent on these cables. This very message is being transmitted over the 200ft cable at home as I write my reply to your question ...

it should be used outside at the point of connection to your home from the cable service. it also needs to be properly grounded to your electrical system to be funcitional. the cable company will have grounded their initial attachment, remove that ground and connect it to this device. make sure you have the cable feed from the company connected at the end that (i believe from memory) says "service", the other end will say something like "customer", that's where you connect the line that goes into the house. i also recommend securing this to the house structure via the mounting holes provided. make up your connections wrench tight to help prevent oxidation of the copper center which carries the signal. best of luck to you. remember, connect it outside at the point of attachment and ground it.

For my uses, I do not need to extend beyond the cable length provided with the device. That said...The DS18B20 is a 1-Wire Digital Communications Temperature Sensor. The manufacturer specs state max operating current is 1.5 mA, therefore, the distance will be limited by Voltage Drop. Do not know your application, however, if distances are measured in feet, I'd speculate 20 ft with good copper conductors. I recommend using a shielded cable with shield grounded at the cable termination end only. Greater distances may be possible. Since this device is not that expensive, you could "buy it and try it."

I live in a rural area. My range is double - maybe triple - of other standard USB antennas that I tried. I can pick up signals from much further than that but not connect to them. About 300 yards and at a weak connection is the best I've done with mine. Full strength at 100 yards.

This is in the Product Description: Please note this is "commercial grade" Cat6 style cable made from pure copper, it is NOT CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum).It didn't not appear to be CCA when i used it

the copper wire is a ground, hook it up to any metal pipe. the other is the antenna place it where you get the best reception.

I use UTP Cat5e, and respect to the distance I don't have idea how much long distance of wire can it support

I am a it pro and personally I would save your money. I have use a bunch of different antennas and I have seen very little change. a better access point is a much better option. if you are trying to go between building I like engenius outdoor access point if it is inside I like a dlink dap1522. if you use either of theses you want to set them up with a static ip they are much easier that way,
