Tarek hello I need to extend my network beyond 100 meters without usage of wifi or radio , where can I find something like this : https://www.ethernetextender.com/ethernet-extension-products/ethernet-extension-kits/828a.php it is an Ethernet extender without any need of POE please advise
nuclearcat 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.
Tarek after further checking , the POE is only on the out port ( it doesn't need poe to function but can provide it )
BashLogic 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...

nuclearcat Just remember, if this line is outside, on next rain season you might get all your switches "fried". Be careful about that.
Tarek 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.
m_zeid 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 .
