What is the max distance from Hub to SSC?
« on: September 29, 2013, »
Hi,
  I am certain it is in here somewhere, but I cannot find it. I know there is a limit to the run length from the Hub to the SSC but I cannot ffind a good planning figure for it.  I can place my hub someplace inconspicuous but that will result in a 50 foot max run of Cat5 from the hub to the furthest SSC.  I don't know if I am pushing that too far.  What is the longest anyone has used and not had problems?  I need to buy my cables from monoprice and want to make sure I don't buy lengths I cannot use.  Thanks in advance.

There are actually lots of posts on this..  Try this one:

Perhaps this is something that RJ could add to the FAQ at the beginning of this section?

50 feet is okay between the hub and ssc. The distance from ssc to string was much shorter.

Jamie and Keith,
   Thanks for the answers.  Good to know I can do the distance I am planning.
