    You have to do something similar to this but that's a rabbit hole I'm not going to go down.

    I just watched this... Seems like there isn't going to be any network lag with this setup due to a direct ethernet connection. No personal experiance with OBS/streaming.

    For $20, no. Get the cheaper one. Unless you want RGB or something that isn't blue. @deXxterlab97

    Try adding a nameserver? I think your NAS box is having a hard time finding the internet cause it cannot find a domain name server. 

    IE: 8.8.8.8 
    or 
    8.8.4.4

    What version of freenas are you running? You may need to change what repository it's pulling the plugin list from if you're not keeping up with current releases.
    Repository I'm using: http://download.freenas.org/plugins/9/x64/pbi-meta/pbi-repo.rpo

    If you are worried about degradation of the outside coating, it should be fine considering it's rated for your intended purpose, feed it through some cheap pvc tubing. will also keep out water.
     
    With regard to temperature extremes: I would find their website(I couldn't find anything there)/contact the people who made it and see if they have any sort of rating on temperature range/longevity testing. Or even if you get you the science-y name of that material of the coating, a not-so-quick google search will give you some leading info. 
     
    Hope that helped somewhat.

    Yes it would work for direct burial but as usual it's always best to have the cable inside of a conduit. As for attaching to stucco depending on the kind of stucco you have on the building, if it's the foam board type you will want to drill back into the sheeting of the home and use long screws to fasten it down in place, but for regular concrete walls with a stucco coating using simple concrete screws will work.

    Actually I think temperature isnt a huge factor, since the cable internals are copper and I dont intend on moving or bending the cable in the cold.
    I will ask the seller as well. I will probably end up burying in the ground without pvc, less work.
     
    thanks

    Regular PVC will do if people really wanted to mess about with it even metal conduit can only do so much. If your already getting conduit I would just suggest to use regular cable to put it inside the conduit since it would be better protection from just direct burial cable.

    A bit pricier, but this 8-Port switch has PoE on all ports:

    But for the price, you might be better off simply buying 2x of those TP-Link 8-port switches that @skywake linked earlier. I took a quick look around, and I didn't see anything in that ~$60 price range that had all 8-ports powered.

    Personally, I wouldn't buy it. It's sketchy looking, and I've never heard of the brand.
     
    With the amount of power PoE can push, you don't want to cheap out. A bad injector could risk damaging your equipment. I would personally stick with a well known brand with a good reputation.

    That's correct, 1-4 are for PoE. You can use Ports 5-thru-8 in whatever way you'd like. ONE of the ports (Say, Port 8, but ultimately, it doesn't matter which one), needs to be an uplink port back to your router. The other 3 ports can be used by additional devices (Computers, etc) as needed.
     
    This is only a 10/100 switch mind you, so no Gigabit speeds. But you can always pick up a separate Gigabit Switch for like $20-$30 on Amazon.ca, if you need to add that in later. (TP-Link 5-port Gigabit switch is $25, and the 8-port version is $40 on Amazon).

    It's a little bit more expensive, but the only low-end POE switch I'd ever use is the Netgear GS110TP - the company I work for literally has a few thousand of these, and this upcoming year that number should become around 5000-6000. Beyond that if you really want a great POE switch, you can get the HP 2530-8G-POE+, which we have about 250 of. (We also have about 300 HP 2530-24G-POE and lots of older HP 24 port POE switches)

    Don't listen to me if anyone else responds, but... I'd say go with the eBay one. The other doesn't even come with a power adapter. If they can't include that, what other corners will they cut? Just my 2 cents.

    Member reacted to skywake in Which one should I get? Poe injector   
    They're entirely different things, one is a PoE injector and the other is a PoE switch. Personally I wouldn't trust either. For a standard switch it doesn't matter but for PoE I'd go for a more reputable brand. If a network switch buggers up you lose your connection, if a PoE switch buggers up you fry the devices connected to it. Though maybe that's just me.
     
    If it was a pick between the two? I'd probably go for the switch. That 8 port PoE injector just looks super dodgy.

    Yes that wouldn't be a problem at all just running the wiring along there, as it's exterior grade you could leave it without conduit since it is still partially protected by the structure. The stuff is rated for direct burial after all.
