well, between the house and the shop I buried a six pair stranded cable that I planned to use for other features beyond the phone. So I've got available pairs in that line to use. regarding electrical power lines I have a TED meter that I use in the shop for observing power consumption on certain projects. It has an inductor that goes around the cable that feeds my shop, and a data pulse, sends information from the panel to a remote device plugged into a wall outlet. So that is reading from roughly 100 feet away, I can take the remote from the shop, take in the house plug-in on the kitchen counter in it works fine there so although it's very low form of data it tells me there's throughput. I wired this place out here so from J Box to J box it's all laid out pretty linear.
Maybe I/I assuredly must be missing something. The way I see this is data enters the house at point A . I plug cable from the IP's modem into my little magic box on the wall. Little magic box on the wall plugs into a wall outlet, or to one of my stranded pair. Terminating in my shop. Where they, at the end of the run, give me a jack to plug the data cable in from magic box to laptop/desktop. Or maybe the end terminal has to have a router to plug into, I haven't actually stopped to read the installation instructions on these things yet. Eight hours of reading acronyms and looking them up has worn me out. I will be starting again tomorrow, I'm hoping to have a handle on this and the next day or two. I appreciate the fact that somebody's out there to talk to. The IP providers don't know squat or if they do they won't say it.
Anyway if you see I'm painting my picture incorrectly please tell me.
Appreciatively, River. I know you probably don't have much time to fiddle with folks like me but if you want me just attached the links for products I will certainly do it. Again, thanks
I just got an e-mail from my brother, he says I can buy a roll of HDMI cable for hundred dollars. So stupid or brilliant? if I could just figure out a way to utilize that six pair wire I buried. I wonder if a guy could energize the two ends, (the two magic boxes that you would plug into a wall outlet), and create a parallel circuit between the two with a couple of pair of my buried wire package. There would be no load on that wire, just signal transmission between the two transceivers. Does that make any sense or am I just too tired. Kind of like two tin cans on opposing ends of a string. Power up the cans,hook them to the string.
