[c-nsp] Ethernet over Coax

[Brandon Price]

We used ReadyLinks Coax to Ethernet bridge model CEB-401

http://www.ready-links.com


We had coax between the buildings but didn't want to pay to have fiber
pulled.

The throughput is great, certainly near 100mpbs the only problem was
That particular model has a really small MAC table, so random machines
would keep dropping off the link. I just placed Cisco 3640s on both ends
of the coax and renumbered the workstations and its been rock solid ever
since.

I wouldn't recommend it as your first option, but it works great and
saved us from spending a bunch of money pulling fiber.

Hi Guys,

I'm reviewing cabling solutions. Has anyone tried the ethernet over
coax?
Has it improved over the years (they claim to reach 100Mbs)? especially
with
using Cisco? splitters are still
going to be used and I assume there's no Switch 2900,3700 series that
cisco
can support for these kind of cabling. I was looking into the cables for
evaluation to use in Video on Demand solutions. Hope anyone can shed
light
on the pros and cons for ethernet over coax.

regards,
chris
