Ethernet 100 BASE TX 200 m leght
(OP)
I need to connect 2 PC whit ethernet 100 BASE TX system.
I can't use an HUB or a REPEATER because I can't power it.
Can I do this connection by using a Cat 5 STP cable?
Can I use a better cable to do it whitout the repeater?
Thanks and sorry for my bad english.

If it were me, I would try to find the LC cable and try it. Either that or run fiber if you can.

As he said, the distance is 200 meters.
We cant run with fiber and media converters becouse our budget is very poor.
We live i ITALY in a jointly-owned building if you hadnt undestood yet.
If it is necessary, we'll buy an HUB/switcher despite we would like to have a fast ethernet LAN without any HUB/swither.
If we have to buy something, we cant spend more than 250$ (so fiber and media converters are immediately out our plans)
Ok, LC cables? what kind of that? how are this cable called?
thx.

The low capacitance lets you run the signal further before it degrades too much to be usable. This might work for you.
I had another thought.. many of the home network products like Linksys's Homenet use standard phone lines for 1-10Mhps links and have a range of 700 feet.. roughly 200 meters. It might work for you since it would be a straight connection and not shared with the phones. I use it myself to extend out my 10/100 network to some rooms downstairs via the phone lines and it works very well. The Linksys converters( bridges) for each end run about 85.00 US each. They have the telco port and one RJ45 port for your NIC card or whatever. Think of it as a high tech version of the old long haul modems.

Cisco is offering a new item that gives 100Mhz over cat3 but it's pricy :(

But, what kind of LC cable do you suggest in order to run at 100 Mhz in a 200 meters lenght?
Thx.
RE: Ethernet 100 BASE TX 200 m leght
I doubt you will get 100Mbps at 200 meters.. 10Mbps is not a real problem. IF you try 100... it may work mostly.. in other words if you can live with the error rate it work well enough for what you want.
Again, you CAN get 100Mbps over 200 meters with the new Cisco equipment but it's beyond your budget.
Last resort would to get a cheap switch/hub that you could stick out of sight somewhere in the middle of the run and use normal CAT5 cabling.
Myself, I would borrow the 200 meters of CAT5, stretch it out and hook two workstations up and see if it works. If you tell the cable vendor what you are trying to do and that if it works, you will buy the cable on the spot they may be willing to let you try it first. Maybe if you offer the salesman his choice of beverage first

I wish you luck

remember T pieces and terminators for your combo Netowrk card.
If in doubt get the Ball Pein Hammer out
