I’m wanting to use GigaBlox in an industrial environment for GigE Vision networking. There would be multiple short GigE links, and one long GigE cable run that can reach 30m. Is that any issue? Are GigaBlox cable lengths limited to less than the 100m of 1000Base-T?
The cable we use is stranded 24AWG CAT5e STP.
30 meters should be no issue. I don’t believe we’ve had any customers test it at 100 meters yet, but we’re probably just shy of that. The small size of GigaBlox does introduce some tradeoffs with the routing that reduce the range, but 30 meters should work just fine.
Excellent, and thanks for the quick reply!
