Hi,
I'm trying to overcome the 300 ft limit of the cat5 cable. I am reading confusing practices and I need some clarification.
I read that you should not daisy chain more than two switches together, yet when it comes to extending cable length it seems everybody suggests adding a switch to act as a signal booster.
I will have a 16 port switch at every end of the cable and obviously the small switch in the middle.
I am already experiencing packets being dropped and slow file transfer. Is this the best way to setup this type of network, or is there something I am not doing correctly? And how can people say it is not ok to connect more than two switches and in cases like this, that is mostly what they recommend..
Thanks for any help
