Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but it seems to be the closest to community for what I'm looking for.
For work I am testing the connectivity between 2 computers via ethernet cable. A guy on my team created a small circuit board (just a prototype) which splits the 4 pairs into 2 paths -- one path for 100Mb/s ethernet and the other to NULL. These have 2 RJ45 ports on them so they can be daisy chained together. I know that the max length of cat5 is 100 meters.
Is there a way to tell how good the quality of the signal is after n amount of circuit board? We want to know how many we could theoretically daisy chain together before needing a repeater.
We've played around with iPerf3, and while it seems like a neat little tool, I'm not sure it can accomplish what we're looking for.
