I used to see these exact same results when I would setup Wireless pop's on towers taller than 400Ft. I was able to push the envelope a bit, however when I saw the issues that you speak of, it was when I had bad crimps, or sometimes a bad cable all together. Cat5 should be fine for this... if you figure 12ft risers you are probably cutting it close on the distance but not going over it. -Scotty ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Rude" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 10, 2003 3:01 PM Subject: fast ethernet limits > > Hi NANOG, > > Could someone please help me with a fast ethernet problem I am having.
