735 DS-3 cable has a specification max length of 225'. 734 DS-3 cable has a specification max length of 450'. When you use this long cable length, the mux that is providing the DS-3 needs to have the pads removed (or provisioned) for a long cable run. Transition Networks (and others) make DS-3 fiber converters. They are not cheap. This would be my preferred method as fiber (especially OSP) is much better suited for outdoor exposure and temperature changes. -Andy --- "Mike (meuon) Harrison" <meuon@highertech.net> wrote:
I need to run a DS3 across our parking lot.. Seriously.
What's the max length I can use coax for (I know, gotta use a GID), and what's the best brand/type of coax I can use? It'll be through innerduct.. Looking for some real world answers from people that do a LOT more of this than me.. (It might take 350-400 feet).
