I know its for home networking 
Some people live in ranch style houses that are long. Longer the cable or copper less signal you have.
I have 240 feet on one cable. loses of 8 db. |

A Ranch style house 240 feet long? That would have to be one long assed house. Or, was it just that the installer ran the cable all over the place because you wouldn't let them drill holes or fish the cable? Or, perhaps it's just some weird install? |

1 edit | reply to hayabusa3303 I'd say the issue was due to the word "drop".
Anyways, I haven't found anything on distance limitations for the new specification, but "HomePNA Version 2.0 is designed to reach up to 1000 feet (300 meters) between any two adapters." »www.homepna.org/support/faqs.asp#FAQ2
Also considering that even 1000BaseT has a limit of 100 meters, I would think it should work fine on a cable run of 240ft or so. However, I have never used HPNA and not sure what real world performance would be. -- There is a reason the wires are twisted together, it's called a pair. It defeats the whole purpose of twisted pair cabling by using the solid orange and solid green to wire the jack. |
