Is a 5 foot cable really the minimum length as per the manual? Anyone test for packet loss with jumpers?

What is the maximum length for an ethernet cable to be connected to this switch? If I have 25ft cables connected should that make a difference? What about 50ft? That is my situation and I am concerned that this switch might not provide enough power over such long distances. If those are too far, can anyone recommend a different (possibly higher-powered) switch?

I'm using 2 ft jumpers to connect from a Patch Panel to the TrendNet switch . . . I didn't see anything in the manual about min. 5 feet cable, but I wasn't reading word-for-word -- I'm guessing that is the length needed for the Switch to detect a short cable and lower transmission to be more power "green."

Chances are you are using a CAT5 Ethernet cable which will not work. It is very easy to confuse the two. Order an RJ45 and you'll be ready to rock!

I've gotten nearly a gigabit transfer rate through this connector using a 60ft run of CAT5-E wiring. But you must wire it correctly and carefully! Full instructions and caveats on how to wire it with the included punch-down tool are in the package.

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

max length rg6 cable 50 foot shorter is better, dish says 11/03/14, but I had the 50 foot cable and worked just fine

The one I got was a single 32 ft cable with the female end containing a signal amplifying chip. If you look at the page yo9u can choose between 16ft, 33ft, and 65ft lengths. price varies with length. I'm sure the header remaining the same is a simple oversight.

Well, i actually use some other Ethernet cable I had in the house, that is quite shorter, so I don't have I use the cable the floor board brought, which is super long, thatni use in the studio or giging, most likely your cable is defective. Try a different one

Aproximately about 12ft. I had was to used about 120ft of cat 5 cable to install the one i bought

You can run cat5 ethernet up to 300ft without signal loss. Any further you will need a signal repeater.

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.

Cannot answer precisely as I am in a small townhome with no distance from router exceeding about 20'ft.

I've used Cat6 and I'm getting 10GB with no problems. Note that I'm use 3 ft cables. Can't say if there would be problems with longer runs.

You can get a Ethernet cable for your extension. Whatever length you need. Amazon does have them.

My unit works quite well with a 20 ft. long run of Cat 6 from the router.Haven't tried anything longer than that.

Hi,Cabel is short 10~15 as I can remember. I used cat5 To extend to more tnan 100 ft.

Yes, I actually use the longer cables available on Amazon.It is a basic cable.

from what i recall,it is about 6-6 feet...but you can splice cat5 wire to make it any length you need...i use the twisted pairs(i.e green pair,orange pair and blue pair)..orange for 12volt,green for ground,and blue for ir signal)....
