Im thinking about some changes to the network. In some locations the distance from once connection to another may be be longer than 300 feet. This means that it goes farther than the specs for the maximum distance for a signal to travel on cat5e cable. I always thought that if you added a swtich say in the middle of the 300 feet eg 150 or where ever in that strand, it would re start the distance back to 300 feet again from that point, if you know what I mean. But I read something recently that talked about the need for repeaters.
Can anyone clarify this. Do I need repeaters or do switches do the same thing or at least replace the need for the repeaters.
Thanks.
