How "ruggedized" do you need...We use for some ITS/Highway Projects that work pretty well.... Spencer ************************************************** Spencer Wood, Network Manager Ohio Department Of Transportation 1320 Arthur E. Adams Drive Columbus, Ohio 43221 E-Mail: [email protected]
Andy, Thank you for bringing up fiber converters. I have a comment I was trying to bring to the list that escaped this old man's memory. To the best of my recollection, I have not implemented a fiber converter that lasted more than say, 12 months. I've tried different brands with no luck. So, my question is, does a 'ruggedized' fiber/coax/X-baseT converter exist? Regards, Christopher J.

When you use this long cable length, the mux that is providing the DS-3 needs to have the pads removed (or provisioned) for a long cable run. Transition Networks (and others) make DS-3 fiber converters. They are not cheap. This would be my preferred method as fiber (especially OSP) is much better suited for outdoor exposure and temperature changes. -Andy --- "Mike (meuon) Harrison" <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I need to run a DS3 across our parking lot..
