Question about running internet a long distance from the source. Bear with me, I'm ignorant about this stuff.

I've got a cabin back in the woods. It's about six hundred feet back from the main house. Would it be feasible to run internet back that far? Should I use cable like or ethernet? Would one degrade the signal faster than the other?
>>
You'd want to run fiber or coax, or just pay for cellular 4G out there.
>>
Cat won't work after 100m.
>>
>>61062707
Use a cable underground so it doesn't get fucked up by the weather over time and don't be a faggot.
>>
>>61062762
Yeah and a repeater or two wouldn't be worth buying when you could just run it on a medium capable of going the 600 some feet.
>>
>>61062737
Signal is shit back there.

>>61062762
Cat?

>>61062808
I don't understand.
>>
>>61062948
>Cat?
Cat is a very commonly used cable standard. He's saying you'll need to buy something more specialist.
>>
>>61062707
>600 ft through woods
as long as it's not really thick woods then a high-gain directional wifi antenna at your house and and cantenna at the cabin might do well enough

Would the source have to be fiber as well or could you go from "cat" to fiber and back.

>>61063006
Nope.

>>61063027
Fuck off.

CAT5e Ethernet requires a repeater after 100 metres. (~330 feet)

You can do single mode fiber however over 20km. So get two Ethernet to single mode fiber media converters. Hook one up to Ethernet at your source. Run fiber to your cabin and then Ethernet from that media converter to a WiFi access point or switch or desktop or whatever you need internet on
>>
>>61063068
Thanks! Any idea what something like that would cost?
>>
>>61062707
laser ethernet would be the best bet if you've got a clear LOS but I don't even know where you can buy that shit.
>>
>>61063105
Two of these
http://datainterfaces.com/FMC-1000S-SM10.aspx?gclid=CNjAot-g19QCFUtYDQod_OUM1A

And then ~600 feet of standard single mode fiber 1310nm with SFP terminations.

Should run you under $300-400 depending what you buy exactly.
>>
I'm looking up fiber prices. They all list different numbers of strands. What's the difference?
>>61063207
>>
>>61063235
This should be what you want
https://www.sanspot.com/200m-lc-lc-os2-duplex-fiber-lclc-ss202n3pcc?gclid=CNXT2pGj19QCFZpMDQodoykLnQ

Difference is are for longer distance, different operating environments or different network topologies.
>>
>>61062707
If the woods aren't too dense, a 2.4Ghz or maybe even 5Ghz point to point would be more cost effective than fiber. For around $150,you could get something with 100Mbps of throughput
>>
>>61063235
Also, some advice when working with fiber, never bend it sharply or crush it. You'll fuck up your cable.

I'd recommend installing it in a PVC conduit if possible
>>
>>61063375
Latency will hurt here. Not to mention gimping yourself to under 100mbps is silly. Laying fiber allows cheap 1gbps and in a few years when 10gbps fiber media converters come down in price you don't even need to replace your fiber, just the converters at each end.
>>
>>61063375
Can you define too dense?

>>61063383
Noted. Thank you.

>>61063412
I've only got 65 up at the house.
>>
>>61063615
>I've only got 65 up at the house.
currently

4 years ago I had 50/10mbps today I have symmetrical 1gbps.
>>
>>61063675
Fair point.
>>
>>61062707
Just pay somone to run fiber from the house to the forrest house.
And while you're there pay him to wire your house properlly.
>>
>>61063615
>Can you define too dense?
Generally if there isn't line of sight, don't try it.

If it's a couple trees with gaps between, fine. But any dense wooded cover will destroy signal strength
>>
>>61063885
At 5ghz even rainclouds will start messing with your signal (if it passes through the cloud obviously)
>>
>>61063881
>Just pay somone to run fiber from the house to the forrest house.
Fuck that

At MOST pay a Mexican or two to dig you a trench from the house to the cabin. Lay the fiber yourself and hook up the end bits yourself. Should be a simple drill job for that part.

A pro would charge $500-800 on top of the cost for the equipment
>>
If you've got a clear shot you could always look into directional point to point radio/wireless to link both buildings.
>>
>>61065086
See above. Woods, mate.
>>
stop being autistic and dont live in the forest. wontfix
>>
>>61062707
Fiber is best bet for any connectivity, even 4g wireless will be gimped by the trees
Make sure you get durable shit

I'm, being reclusive, not autistic.

See, if I was autistic, I could get the spoiler to function, properly.

No, if you weren't a spewing newfag, you'd know /g/ doesn't have spoiler tags. /g/ is not your personal tech support, fuck off.

ur being autistic (and reclusive). thers no reason not to live in the city
