Need help extending T1
Ok,
So we need to extend a T1 line at my job. The CAT6 run is about 400ft and ethernet taps at around 325 per run. I was told by our parent IT company to just put a switch in the middle of the run and it would work. No dice, I now have a new office going live on Monday with still no answer. Does anybody know of any good extender/repeater/amplifier for CAT runs?? Any other solutions?

Ethernet is simple. You pretty much have three options. 1. Install a switch in somewere in between. This is amateurish but it will work. It doesn't need to be anything fancy, a simple little Linksys will work. Option 2: convert your cat6 to fiber using a copper->fiber ethernet transceiver at each end of the run, and run fiber in between the transceivers. Option 3: instead of using cat6, use fiber for the whole run. Of course you'll need a fiber capable switch at each end. If you're extending a T1, 400 feet is no problem. HB

Re: Need help extending T1
Well I think I am extending the T1. In other terminology, I am extending the DeMarc. There is the AT&T circuit block on the wall at the minimum point of entry, and the run between that circuit block and the actual Cisco router they provide is what I am trying to boost/amplify.
It is a patch type RJ-45 cord used, but I am not sure if you consider this to be ethernet or T1.

OK now that we've got that cleared up, the 400 ft length is not a problem. As a matter of fact, with the Cisco CSU's you can go over 655 ft using the "cablelength long" command. HB

Re: Need help extending T1
A switch will not work, because these devices only forward Ethernet frames. What you need is a T1 repeater. I would search ebay, or pricewatch.
