no this one is with an external power source
Well, you will need power at any case at intermediate points, or supplied over ethernet(PoE), or locally where units installed. Any electronic device need power.
I don't mind external power
after further checking , the POE is only on the out port ( it doesn't need poe to function but can provide it )
why you don't use normal switches as repeaters?
yeah I think I will end up doing this
Some one correct me if i am wrong, but to my awarness any ethernet switch should be up for the job. Just get a common switch and that should suffice...

yes switches should work .
I should get a gigabit switch as my entire network is full gig
Just remember, if this line is outside, on next rain season you might get all your switches "fried". Be careful about that.

true , i am planning to put it in an airtight plastic or metal box underground ( about 6 feet ) ...i am running tests to check how much heat a small fan-less switch would generate.
check for those 5 ports Gigabit switches. Check those from Mikrotik. they are managed switch but AFAIK they are configured as standard switch by factory defaults.
I've got got one from hi-gain.net two days ago, still didn't touch it yet (too busy)
these switches are PoE capable, and you can always use passive injectors.

I just got the newest mikrotik router ( 13 ports ) maybe ill get a switch too .
