Running Ethernet over existing coaxial cable
- sydbarrett74 3y agoI have a couple of pairs of ScreenBeam devices and can attest to the joy of having a home-wide Ethernet network rather than having to use increasingly congested WiFi channels (I live in multiple-occupancy housing).
- h2odragon 3y agoSee? Leaving the 10base2 and Thicknet in the walls was a good idea. There never was a valid excuse for twinax, tho. Honestly this makes me wanna go look at some of the commercial media converter boxes and see just how good their modems actually are, by testing them on a range of media. 10base5 was called "garden hose" cable but I've got a chuck of some stuff around here somewhere that's nasty like firehose coax. Xmitter leadline. that oughtta pass a bit or two. what's 300ohm ladder line look like through these? barbed wire? :)
