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" <meuon () highertech net> wrote:
I need to run a DS3 across our parking lot.. Seriously. What's the max length I can use coax for (I know, gotta use a GID), and what's the best brand/type of coax I can use? It'll be through innerduct.. Looking for some real world answers from people that do a LOT more of this than me.. (It might take 350-400 feet).
