I think fs.com will have it sorted out, thanks . My one comment, though, is that their support live chat is awful. Wow.

No, I haven't bought anything yet. Thanks for the info! Does NavePoint sell terminated burial-rated cable?

I'm looking through now, and I can't seem to find anywhere selling anything that will work for less than $400. Do you have any recommendation as to where I might find the right product?

My thought is that 300m is very short compared to the theoretical maximum length that you could get a good signal over fiber, and so it might work. As long as it gets decently close to gigabit it'll do perfectly.

So, some of you might remember the last thread I posted on here about setting up a network from my house to my barn down the hill. @Quindor found me some fiber transceivers on AliExpress that looked alright, and also some fiber cable- unfortunately it took me a LONG time to actually get around to starting this project, and the listing for the cable is no more. I found this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/200M-Outdoor-SC-SM-Simplex-FTTH-Drop-Patch-Cable-SC-Singlemode-Simplex-Fiber-optic-patch-cord/32800580969.html?spm=2114.10010108.1000013.16.bBNTG8&traffic_analysisId=recommend_2088_8_81019_new2&scm=1007.13339.81019.0&pvid=403b2068-647d-4629-b97b-d0a1838984f0&tpp=1 and this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100M-Outdoor-SC-Simplex-FTTH-Drop-Patch-Cable-SC-Singlemode-Simplex-G657A-Fiber-optic-patch-cord/32814342099.html?spm=2114.10010108.1000013.36.bBNTG8&traffic_analysisId=recommend_2088_18_81019_new2&scm=1007.13339.81019.0&pvid=403b2068-647d-4629-b97b-d0a1838984f0&tpp=1 which, when put together with a coupler would work very nicely- if they're real. And yes, I also did notice the shipping cost- it's still FAR cheaper than anything I can find on any other site. I'd very much appreciate it if someone more experienced than I would give it a look!

I'd like to point you towards this video: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=%23&ved=0ahUKEwiC7-usnZDPAhXM6SYKHa0GC6UQwqsBCCQwAg&usg=AFQjCNF1sHlk2z9QIx28jtvfnGP_UlkifA&sig2=utA048ADwUSjEYXL5VM8Aw. 750 is far better than the 740/730. As for everything else, I'll edit this in a bit with my goto cheap system parts list when I'm at my desktop. PCPartPicker doesn't go so well on mobile..

I tried to figure that out, but there's too many trees. I said this in the post. Fiber would be the best, but I can't afford burial rated fiber (I found a seller who will terminate it, but it's $740), and I don't really want to deal with PVC. I'll do some thinking, though. Might go with the PVC..

I think I'll bury it directly. PVC adds a *lot* of cost, and it's rather annoying to do. And yeah, I've come to the same conclusion about using the active converters- the distance is right on the edge of the limit for the passive ones. I'd rather not take the chance. Now, if you could give me one more bit of advice- I can't work out what connector to use for those active converters. Also: This? https://www.amazon.com/COMMSCOPE-Professional-Underground-COAXIAL-Coated/dp/B00TBWWCT0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1472992632&sr=8-1&keywords=1000ft+coaxial+cable+for+burial edit: corrected typo

Yeah, injecting power at the source really isn't a problem. I'd planned on that Thanks for the coax one though, I'll look into that. Also, It's not *just* for monitoring, but still the 100mbps is fine. I won't be transferring a lot of files over it... It'll work. edit: Also, I can cut a hole in the box and caulk a heatsink in if I need to

No, not that- how do I put a connector on the actual cable? Also: the ethernet repeater will be in a sealed box, and I'm thinking of putting a heatsink on it, cutting a hole in the sealed box, and caulking it. Those PoE extenders are advertised for doing exactly this- Why don't you think it will work? Also, I see a few problems with your solution: -Wire linked is inadequate (too small, not rated for burial. 24AWG may be plenty for the power requirement, but it's not within code for attaching to outlets) -Switches are unreliable, as you stated, which I can't deal with- this network is also going to be the monitoring system for a solar array -AC power wires must be buried at least 24 inches underground as per electrical code -Outdoor outlets have to be GFCI (expensive), also as per electrical code -Switch+proper outlet box+power adapter+switch is really big, causing me to have to set up a really large watertight box I'm just not seeing how well this will work.

Looked into that. How do I terminate it? Also, it seems like running that system would be expensive, as I'd have to have a computer with a PCIe slot running permanently at both ends. Add to that the cost of buying the network cards, and it seems like a really really expensive option. ..Plus I don't have 2 extra computers.

Hey all, I'm looking for a way to get an ethernet connection about 750 feet from one building to another. Obviously this is too far for a cat5e/cat6 cable, so the plan is to use 2 of these [1] things (or ones like them) in waterproof boxes on posts at the correct intervals on the way down the hill. My question is: Can a reasonably reliable PoE repeater be had for less money? Speed isn't really that much of a concern, as this is basically just providing an internet connection to my computer workshop. Additionally, the upstream connection is only a 4G modem (You know, living all of 6 miles out of town where there's no real internet service for *some* reason). Fixed wireless is not an option either- too many trees (and a hill).

I currently have a GTX 760 (Which is fine) but I'd love to be able to build a second system to have at my dad's house. ATX case is a pain to haul around

Ooo a projector that isn't 13 years old! Fantastic!

Windows 32bit? Outta here! I'm running Linux x64 I think I'll buy it (Probably won't return it as return shipping to HK is miserable...) Edit: WTF? Edited to remove a mistake and it reposted.... Whatever.
