We have a project at work where someone wants to deploy a copper only device (figure an 8 port copper switch for explanation purposes, even though it's not a switch - no fiber) on one floor, but our lab is on a completely different floor, well past the 100m limitation of ethernet.
One of our engineers suggested using a media converter and while I guess that would work, I just wanted to post on here to see if there's any other suggestions you guys may have? I feel using the media converter is a "hack" per se, but honestly, there's nothing else either of us could think of to resolve this. The only other option would be to deploy another switch down there but we're not going to do that for ONE port.
Any other ideas? Thanks guys and gals.
