I have been asked if I can add extra pc's to our network from another
building.
Building 1 has 6 pc's and building 2 has 5 pc's. The problem I have is that
building 2 is a few hundred meters away, the cable installation run is of no
problem, but I am getting conflicting reports. One says that the max length
of Cat5 cable from pc to pc is 90mtrs, 100mtrs max. But the other says that
if I have a switch/hub fitted every 90mtrs the hub will boost the signal for
the next 90mtrs, and so on until I reach building 2.
The data being transferred is text files.
Could someone please advise me on which one is correct. Or advise me on the
BEST way.
