While we provide 175,000 products from fiber optic able to data center equipment to residential Smart Home Systems- and all have one thing in common- to make your life easier through providing products to imrove the world's communication. There are several ways to extend your Ethernet signal via fiber optic able from your home or office computer ETHERNET signal to another location. Whether you have a home office in the suburbs or out in the country-or want to extend your ethernet signal to a remote building such as a garage-or another remote building our outdoor rated CAT 5e cable is specifically designed for this purpose. You can purchase our outdoor CAT 5e direct bury cable or our outdoor rated shielded and outdoor aerial cable in pre-cut lengths which is already terminated and tested. All you have to do is plug it in and your system will be up. All our outdoor rated cables are guaranteed to work for lengths up to 290 feet. Per EIA/TIA specifications, all ethernet based equipment is manufacturer to work up to 90 meters. There are instances where you may want to extend the signal.In this case you may want to consider using fiber optic cable to extend your signal .
1- First- Whether you are using copper CAT 5e or CAT 6 cable or Fiber Optic Cable- you need to measure the distance between both locations (buildings). Then add a minimum 10% to your total to include a "safety measure" in case you had a variance in you estimations. 2- Second- You need to decide what route you are going to take- aerial- using a lashing steel wire.... or placing the cable underground- direct bury it or place it in a conduit- either PVC or HDPE- MORE INFO 3-Third- You need to determine in you want to connectorize the cable yourself- we can provide you with the tools and the equipment- or we can provide you with a 'pre-cut and tested" length of CAT 5e or CAT 6 cable or fiber optic cable called fiber optic assembly- More Info.
If you call us before 1Pm -PACIFIC TIME -we usually can ship the pre- tested CAT 5e or CAT 6 cable the same day. Fiber Cables require 2-3 day lead times.

Extending the LAN signal- by Installing a Fiber Optic Cable
Many types of data communications networks exist today including Ethernet, RSxxx, Wireless, SONET, Token Ring, FDDI as well as a host of others. As businesses and communities grow there becomes a need to extend these once isolated and distance restricted networks. Extending an Ethernet Network One of the most popular methods of extending an Ethernet network is to use fiber optic cabling.
Advantages of Fiber over copper cabling:
Another widely used technology for extending an Ethernet network is wireless extension. By utilizing special external high-powered antennas, you can extend an Ethernet network up to 40 Kilometers! This is a great way to extend remote networks that may be far away from phone and cable lines. We have included below a simple Q&A's - questions and answers along with examples on how to install CAT 5e aerial cable, CAT 5e underground cable, and extend your CAT 5e and CAT 5E cable and ethernet network when wireless will not work. We will also explain that one should not extend the signal more than the EIA-TIA 568 A-B specifications and standards allow extention of an ethernet signel for a maximum of 90 meters or 290 feet. There are exceptions where the local provider of services will 'guarantee' the signal travelling more than 290 feet- including Wideband that has equipment designed to carry an ethernet signal more than 600 feet. We do not however recommend your trying to go more that 290 feet unless you have the proper equipment and professional guidance. We will make this so simple for you that you will be playing soccer with your children before you know it!

How To Your RUN YOUR ETHERNET SIGNAL MORE THAN 300 FEET WITHOUT WIRELESS- By USING FIBER OPTIC CABLE
Here Are Some Simple Steps and Recommendations- If you run into problems- feel free to call us at (866) 342-3721 for FREE engineering assistance
There Are Three (3) Steps To Extend LAN -Ethernet Signal Between 2 Buildings:
What you need is the cable- either copper CAT 5e - CAT 6 or fiber - Singlemode or Multimode, drill, duct, connectors, possibly a trencher, steel cable, cable ties, caulk or fire rated compound , (RJ45 Connectors or Shielded RJ 45 Connectors) crimper for CAT 5e or fiber connector/manual splicing equipment- or we can provide everything for you--- PRE CONNECTORIZED - for fiber networks- and media converters on each end. Remember One Important Thing: -Have lot's of patience!
STEP ONE
FIRST STEP -EXTEND FIBER NETWORK PRODUCT - You would need to get a CAT 5e - CAT 6 copper cable which we can provide you ready to ship the same day or- a fiber optic- Multimode or Singlemode Fiber Optic Assembly- and a patch cable for each meadia converter located on EACH end of your LAN NETWORK first to tie in your computer's router to the fiber optic media converter at the the end.
(1) Diagram (1)In this diagram below you see two networks-the GRAYLINE indicating a LAN that ties in any computer system using CAT 5e or CAT 6 ethernet UTP copper cable to a media converter and or a switch and the RED LINE or LINK Below indicating up to a 2 kilometer link using fiber optic cable. The fiber optic cable in this diagram shows using singlemode fiber optic cable. In many situations one can use multimode cable that is rated as an 'indoor- outdoor' fiber optic cable as well- instead of a singlmode cable. The other important components in designing your system in knowing the length of your cable runs- and always include a minimum of 10% additional cable for "overage" or miscalculation. You would hate to have a 1000 foot custom fiber optic cable made - only to find out you needed 1025 feet! You also need to let us know what type of fiber optic CONNECTORS you ned that will connect the FIBER OPTIC MEDIA CONVERTER to the FIBER CABLE. Typically most people use SC or ST, LC being used mostly for commercial applications which use Cisco routers or other higher end switches and routers.
(2) Diagram (2) In this diagram you clearly see the PC on the left- it could be your office , home or any locations. The PC is plugged into your ethernet switch or router (or sometimes both).Then there is an ethernet CAT 5e patch cord or CAT 6 patch cable tying the ethernet switch to the fiber optic media converter.The signal goes into the fiber optic media converter- GETS CONVERTED into digital light pulses which go through the other end of the fiber cable into your other media converter. The fiber optic media converter can be from 10Mbps-100- 1000 or a multi use media converter with several speeds. The YELLOW LINE indicates a fiber optic cable which can be mulitmode or singlemode- and this distance can be from 100 meters to 80 kilometers. You also need to let us know what type of fiber optic CONNECTORS you ned that will connect the FIBER OPTIC MEDIA CONVERTER to the FIBER CABLE. Typically most people use SC or ST, LC being used mostly for commercial applications which use Cisco routers or other higher end switches and routers.
NOW WE GET TO THE FUN PART- THE INSTALLATION OF A Building A To Building B- Length 1000 Feet -FIBER OPTIC ABLE THAT WILL TIE IN YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM. WHETHER YOU NEED TO EXTEND YOUR NETWORK IN A COMMERCIAL AREA OR A RESIDENTIAL AREA- THE FOLLOWING MATERIALS AND PRODUCTS ARE REQUIRED.
We can supply you with all part numbers and have everything pre-configured and pre- assembled from the patch cords to the fiber optic cable to the media converters- ALL WE NEED TO DO IS ASK YOU A FEW questions: You need to tell us is what lengths you need, the speeds, and the throughput. We will design at NO COST to you a solution the SAME DAY and typically ship the SAME DAY the product to you-provided you do not require customization in your network. A typical network would be something like this:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SECOND STEP
Second Step- Install your Fiber Optic Cable Via Aerial or underground- More Info . We provide pre-cut lengths that are tested- ruggedized and ready to install into your fiber optic media converters . Our fiber optic assemblies or fiber optic pathc cords are made into pre-determined lengths with the fiber optic connectors already placed and terminated on the ends of the cable along with a 'pulling eye'. The pulling eye enable you to pull the fiber optic cable several hundred - and thousand feet without damaging your cable- REMEMBER- NEVER PULL ON THE ENDS OF THE CABLE WHILE HOLDING ONTO THE CONNECTORS!!
Fiber Optic Assembly- This is placed between the two fiber optic media converters-this could be from 300 feet to several kilometers- NEVER PULL ON THE ENDS OF THE CABLE WHILE HOLDING ONTO THE CONNECTORS!!
