Criteria for a wired network

[Seraphim]

Hello friends.

I will assemble a network and between network and other point you might have a few meters.
Somebody knows any direction or any manual that you explain all the parameters to take into account when setting up a network? Maximum distance between nodes, etc. .. best Configurations

Thank you very much.

The best info on this, I think, is in the manufacturers' specifications of the hardware you decide to use, since they give you the best specifications under which guarantee their products. Now. With regard to the distance between nodes, today, with the plates 10/100 in general, you can forget about problems with distance. With the cable is good you should have disadvantages, the problems of distance affecting more than anything to the older systems or cabling for 10BaseT ports standard. The main obstacle now is to plan the resources within the network, and I think that the only valid criterion is common sense and knowledge of the functions of each machine.
Greetings.

the issue of distance is the same rate as cable you use, if you use cable upto the distance of 100m between each host. if you want to help you leave me a message that I give you my num of icq
