best cable for 100m houses

[Sadoog]

I have a fiber internet 50 mbps

Need to deliver internet to my brother house (B) and he delivers to sister house (C)...the distance is 100 meters

What's the best Ethernet cable to use without losing data and with less latency (ps4 online)

A--100m--B--100m--C

Regards

A(modem)===>B(router)===>C

You can try Cat6 cable. That's the best grade of ethernet cable. Ethernet is spec'ed to work with cables as long as 100 meters, so it should work, maybe even further. But almost nobody uses cables that long so it's hard to predict if it will actually work. If the router/switches are up to snuff, then you should be able to hit 100 meters. If they're not, then you may not even get past 80 meters.

You're probably not going to be able to find pre-made 100 meter cables, so you'd need to make it yourself. A 1000' bulk spool of Cat 6 is about $130-$150. And the cutting and crimping tools are about $20-$50. The ethernet jacks themselves are about 10-20 cents each depending on quantity. If you really want to go this route, ask here and we can instruct you on how to make the cables.

Given how much it would cost to make your own cables, you may be better off going wireless. If you have line of sight to both houses (no other houses in between), I've had good luck with Ubiquiti's Nanostation M units. They're directional wifi antennas. The 2.4 GHz model is about $40, the 5 GHz about $55. Try one at B and C and have them connect to your router at A. They should be able to connect at that distance even without your router having directional antennas. (They're spec'd to work out to 5-10 km with directional antennas at both ends.) If it doesn't work, you'll have to add another Nanostation at A. If it comes to that, hopefully B and C are in roughly the same direction so you can get away with just a single Nanostation at A..

Cat 5e is more than enough for 50Mbps speeds. Sure, Cat 6 can handle up to 10 GBps, but at only 50Mbps speeds, you will never reach the full potential of the Cat6 so there's no use in paying the extra for it. Either one has a distance of 100m, so both will work in your situation.

So, you are running to 2 other houses? Your brother and your sister house. However far your brothers house, you should have a router or switch to plug into and then run another to your sisters house into a router or switch. Each router or switch acts as a repeater and your signal is good for another 100m from there.

I have nanostation

A(loco m2)----B(m2)-----C(loco m2)

There is no building on sight just two tress

Make them as repeater but house b-c got 10mb at maximum with horrible latency

Floor noise is -92

Also, if they don't plan on setting up wireless in their houses, a basic 5 port switch is pretty affordable. Get something like this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833122128

Yes Cat 6 is designed to operate at a higher frequency than they need. But the way it's designed that way is that it uses tighter and more regular twists, and has a spacer in the middle to keep the four wire pairs separated to minimize crosstalk. Those features will increase the chances OP will manage to get a 100 meter cable to work.

As I said, a bulk spool of 1000' cable is around $130-$150 for Cat 6. About $90-$120 for Cat 5e. I would hate for him to spend $100 making Cat 5e cables, find out it doesn't work, and have to spend another $140 to make Cat 6 cables. Just pay the extra $40 and start with Cat 6 to begin with. He did ask for the best ethernet cable.

Do all the PS4s need to be on the same subnet (i.e. have LAN connectivity to each other)? If not, then don't use them as repeaters. Set A as an access point. Set B and C as clients connected to A. Make sure C is not connecting to B. If devices at B and C need wifi access, get a separate wifi router, set it up as an access point, and make sure it's on a different channel than the nanostation at A.

The chances for NEXT in cat 5e and cat 6 are the same. NEXT only occurs when you have "outside" interference with the data flow of the cable. Having NEXT in networking is rare when dealing with normal household networking. It usually occurs inside larger NOC's or "Network Operations Centers." As the length of his run is concerned, he isn't running a 100m straight. It's about 100m in total distance. He is running to 2 other houses, so his 100m is cut in half as long as he is connecting to a switch in the middle, his signal is repeated for another 100m from then on. If you took his as to asking for the "best" cable, you may as well tell him to buy a Cat7.

Look at the diagram in his original post. It is 100m between each house, so he is going to make two runs of 100m each.

Ok, Missed that, but it still don't change anything. Both cables have a distance at 100m.
