  1. That's pretty much what I'm thinking since it is new and there are so many potential issues with running copper.
  2. If the old router is still good and has the wireless speed you want than go for that. If not invest in a new Wireless Access Point. They should be cheaper, since they don't have to have routing capabilities.\ Like This
  3. Don't know, didn't look real hard, bulk seems to come in 500 or 1000 foot in the US and I have to do in building runs anyway.
  4. Ok, so if I try that, the 500 foot reel of shielded Cat 6a is about $200. All the other components will be the same to make sure that if it doesn't work I will be able to run fiber. The preterminated fiber will be $500 plus $60 for transcievers. I don't know if that is worth it or not.
  5. I will also have to terminate the cable in a humid environment with potential hose watering on it to be under 100m. Are there NEMA rated enclosures that can be used for termination boxes?
  6. I wasn't sure if the high amperage line would be able to penetrate the shielding. What are the necessary components for running STP like connectors, how to terminate, etc. And do you need special switches. Would this cabling do the job.
  7. The copper would be run about 6 inches away from a heavily used 400A electrical service line. I'm worried that this will cause a lot of interference or reduce the distance I can run. Is that true or is it ok. And I don't see how running copper will reduce the cost that much.
  8. You guys are making me sad. We pay $75 a month for this crap, but I have to say ping is pretty impressive for wireless internet and a wireless connection to my computer. This is one of the best tests I've gotten in a while though.
  9. Could anyone tell me if the plan I laid out in Post #17 is good or if you would change anything. Any input would be appreciated. Incompatible parts, better parts, etc.
  10. We are ok as far as code requirements. The electricians are ok with it being that close and I think that applies to house wiring for fire purposes and not for underground cables at all. We won't be installing anything for at least another few weeks, so I have time to decide. The only thing that might be installed is a termination box in the breakroom so that drywall can go up. If you look back at my revised parts list, I think those are better choices, what do you think???
  11. Yeah, the electricians are still working on the inside, I'll ask them and see if they can give me any information.
  12. I've been doing some more research on my own and if I'm getting the Ubiquiti router, it would make sense to go with their access points to. That would give me control to setup the office and back greenhouse the same, instead of having the two separate environments. So, here is a revised list: Thoughts and recommendations are appreciated.
  13. The conduit is spaced probably 6 inches apart, can't remember exactly. And a re-do isn't really possible. The cost and disruption would be too great. We would have to get through the foundation wall of the new building and go under the floor. At this point, it is too far along to redo. Didn't know about the code requirement. I'm just an observer, 16 years old, and have plenty to learn, but I think I'm well ahead of most kids my age. With all these factors stacked against copper, I'm still looking at fiber. My parents said that the reliable connection at a higher cost would be preferable to "experimentation." In other words, we want to do it right the first time.
  14. The main thing I'm not sure about is the sfp trancievers. They will be 1000BASE-SX trancievers with a Duplex LC connector as I will be running 62.5/125 MM fiber. Any recommendations.
