said by graysonf:A 4500 foot loop might be considered a typical average for a copper loop run between a home and a CO.
The supposed 300 foot limit for CAT5 is from the ethernet specification. It does not apply to telephone service or DSL run over twisted pairs.
ok...so, dsl signal from the NID to his modem using cat5e for example...what's the max length for that then?
I understood that ethernet over cat5e should not exceed 300ft....meaning from modem to whatever he wants to connect inside his offic on a wired connection.
