How far away from each other can the sections be to chck cable? Does wall between two sections prevent testing?

It plugs into the network (or phone) cable on both ends, so it doesn't matter if there is a wall in the middle, as long as it's a complete cable from end to end. Length-wise, I've used it for cable runs of about around 75-100 feet and it worked fine. It's just testing for continuity on each of the wires in the cable in sequence, nothing more, nothing less.

The tester is designed to be put on each end of the cable. In picture it looks like one piece but in reality there is two pieces that come apart and then you put one on one side of cable and one on the other side of the cable. Walls have nothing to do with it as the signal goes through the cable itself. I am not sure how far it will actually test but minimum would be max length of a cable which is 327 feet.

I'm not sure if there is a cable length limit on the tester (I don't remember seeing one in the instructions) but there is a length limit of 100 meters in the Ethernet data transfer standards for Cat5 cable and I'm sure that the tester would have been made to test up to this "universal" standard.

I believe the technician mistook FEET for METER. According to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers which created the specification Sony adheres to it is 100 meters in the main run, called "horizontal" in some cases, using Category 6 cabling with solid core. Your patch cable, made with stranded cable gives you 10 meters between the device and wall jack. Your stranded cable has higher attenuation than solid cable, if you go over 10 meters on the stranded, reduce the solid accordingly. Just buy some good cabling - cat5, or 6, your choice, for a 10 foot run. Look up Panduit, or Belkin. Cheers. I believe the technician mistook FEET for METER.

I can't say for sure. I used mine to test a cable from a downstairs office to an upstairs office and it worked fine. Probably at least 50' of cable there.

I have a couple runs exceeding 150 ft.Total of 14 cameras one power supply.Be careful not to put the cable to close to an electric lineI was using standard cable but switched to shielded for that exact reason

I had cable installed for TV previously and connected three locations: A) upstairs loftB) upstairs Master BedroomC) and first floor family room.They ran back demarc on the outside of the house approximatly 25 to 50 meters for each leg.

Hmm, not sure, I do not have access to the box, it was installed in another location. But since the box will fit into a studded wall cavity (3.5") it can not be any deeper (take in to account the wall board thickness). That said, everything is recessed into the wall for AC plug clearance. Therefore I would estimate the recess to be about 1.5" I would allow at least 2" on the shallow side to get the cables thru. That said, this kit makes for a very nice installation at both ends.

I'd say two inches including the wiring, to be safe. You could save a little bit on that if you can find right-angle female disconnects (O'Reilly's had them when I was there), but not much.

But... But... It's SHIELDED! I can feel the interference disappearing!Seriously though, if you need to get a shielded cable that that is sending a DIGITAL SIGNAL less than SIX FEET, you must have high-tension power lines less than a foot away from your stereo system.

Your distance will be limited through any walls as I had that problem and had to modify my system to increase the range. I have 4 cameras on my system and had to add different antennas to the cameras and modified the monitor, which helped me.

Have not used my unit that way. But if unit made for one structure I doubt if signal can penetrate one exterior wall to enter the wall of another house. That just my opinion.

I have not had that problem. The two units I use are in adjacent rooms to the computers in our house, but one of those units is probably not more than 10 feet away from the computers. Bottom line, I don't know for sure, but I don't think so.

The wires will reach from one end to the other. It will not matter if it is not centered.

The left and right sides, from top to bottom are exposed. The center (top to bottom) is covered by a panel with 2 holes to run cables through, one near the top and one close to the bottom.

yes, but if i were you i would not have them over 20 ft apart. i tried 40 ft and had problems staying on line the best thing is to run a cable. regard hosea

The sides that border or parallel the walls are approximately 20 inches. They do NOT meet at the middle (i.e. corner) leaving plenty of hidden space for the wires, connections, etc. to exit the cabinet from cable box or DVR.

I have two cameras over 110 feet away. I ordered the 150' and 100' extension cords. Just make sure you route the cable correctly. The power lead has a male terminal on one end and female on the other. Don't mix them up. I ran two cameras out to our detached garage. So I buried the cables in plastic conduit underground. So far, no problems, they work great.
