yes

thank

I guess you might want to use a cheap switch. Anything dumber than that might be quite difficult to get.

Cat 6 can be good for 500 feet in real world deployments. How far is your run? Or are you just stringing patch cables together?

>>56202036
You might also look into Copper to Fibre converters, you can run fibre much longer

>>56202036
You can chain up to 4 switches. If this is for a professional deployment, use fiber instead of cat6 (never daisy chain in a professional environment).

Said who ?

no one, he's full of shit, especially if they are actual switches and not routers doing something else potentially. if it's a pure switch there will be almost no latency, it would be on the order of a few microseconds. When adding more switches your only real concern is the length of the CAT 5e/6 drops as obviously the longer the drop the more distance the signal has to physically travel, so not a problem over 100-200m, but adding 300-400m+ drops and several switches, you will of course notice some latency at the far end.


But on a local network with even 10 switches if you're using 5-20m ethernet cables, you'll probably add at most a millisecond or two.
