While fiber can cover long distances without signal degradation, the initial investment can be significant. Models like the AirFiber 24 or AirFiber 5X can achieve long-range connectivity with high throughput, suitable for distances of up to 100 km under ideal conditions. They operate in the 24 GHz or 5 GHz bands and require line of sight. The TP-Link Pharos series (like the CPE710 or CPE510) can provide reliable connections over several kilometers, though the maximum range may be lower than 40 km. For longer distances, look for higher-gain antennas or specialized models. Some mesh network systems are designed for long-range coverage and can extend networks over considerable distances without needing wired connections. These typically rely on multiple nodes communicating wirelessly.
Thanks for bringing it up! It's true that if the distance is too long, the voltage drop may become significant enough to affect the performance of connected devices.
While exact limitations can vary, a common rule of thumb for copper cables is to keep runs under 100 meters (328 feet) to minimize voltage drop. For longer distances, it may be necessary to increase the wire gauge (thicker wire) or use additional power supplies at intervals. Or you can consider using AC power. High-voltage AC transmission lines are capable of delivering power over hundreds of kilometers with minimal losses. By transmitting power at a higher voltage and then stepping it down near the load, you can significantly reduce losses due to resistance in the wires. But an air switch or circuit breaker must be added for safety concerns.
Can one connect multiple access points (hotspot)using this method for UpTo 40 kilometres
NOt with this cable, way to long.

Where is the ground wire connected to, from the outside box ?
A grounding rod or the building's electrical ground.
Don't forget to explain, it has distance regulations, people can't run this very long and obtain power.
What is the max distance limit?

@@Fastcabling I did a video on this and how to calculate the distances :)
