Long cat5 Run to access point

[boehm742]

Good morning!
I am posting in regards to a long run of cat5 and a means to make it work. There is a cat5 cable run across the property Linking my Netgear N900 and my Hawking HOD45B Wireless access Point. The problem I am having is that it is over the 100Meter recommendation for cat5 cable. My n900 is located inside with cat 5 running approximately 600 feet to the HOD45B mounted on a pole outside on the property. This 600 is awfully long ways over the 100Meter suggestion. What type of (repeater? Amplifier? PoE?) Do I need to get this running. If I place the unit 10 feet from my router it works fine, but when I connect it at the end of the 600 foot run im having no luck due to the long distance, What would everyone recommend to make the 600 foot run work. My search has yielded nothing but confusion on what I actually need to amplify it passed the 100M mark.(Is this as simple as adding a PoE injector halfway?)
Thanks in Advance Everyone!

If you are under 200m you can use one of those PoE powered switches at the 1/2 point. They are powered by PoE and can put out some but not full PoE power to the far end device. These are very special switches and the one I used is no longer made but I am sure someone still makes them.

You still have the problem of mounting the switch where it is waterproof and does not get real hot or cold.

My quick look at the AP raises the question if it is actually 802.3af complaint. It says it runs 48volts so that is a good start but it must indicate to the switch at the mid point to send it power it does not just provide power by default.

If you have power on both ends then you can use fiber converter and run fiber and not worry about protecting a switch from the elements.
