You should not use CAT5/6 for building to building wiring for both distance and safety reasons. If you use outside plant rated STP cable for T1s, sometime called siamese cable, which has the transmit and recieve bundles separately shield along with a ground wire, you'll can get about 500 feet in my experience. Howevere it's more a function of the CSU's you buy and what their max LBO (Line Build Out) distances are.
Be sure you use good lightning arrestors with a gas chamber and ground when you install these or you will zap your CSUs and maybe TDAs every time there is a lightning strike. Better yet, use something like this: http://www.tccomm.com/TC1630R.htm No real distance issues, no ground or inductance problems. -vb > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of > N D > Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2005 8:34 AM > To: kxt@kxthelp.com > Subject: [BULK] KX-T: Back to Back PRI > Importance: Low > > > Dear All, > > Whats the MAX.
