Why wouldnt you just use fibre-optic? More futureproof. I'm going to use fibre-optic cause I have ~125m between buildings in straight line (and I cannot dig it in straight line).
Interesting. My ISP supplies fiber to my house. I only had to go 160ft. I could possibly pull out the Cat-6 in the pex tube and pulling something else in the future. I don't know how to pull fibre, same as pulling anyother cable? and pex tube is not really ment to be conduit.
@@keyeleven You can buy optic fibre patchcords with external shielding (rubber layer), those have connectors premade. if you can fit connectors into PEX its an option. It is prohibitevly expensive to buy "proper" fibre optic cable, pull it and weld on pigtails with connectors, because welding of optic fibre is expensive, but patchcord will work the same. I'm going with patchcord route.
Dud it work ?The longest recommended run for a Cat-5 Ethernet cable is 100 meters (328 feet) according to industry standards; this applies to both Cat5 and Cat5e cables

Yes it worked, 160ft. I tested it before burring the cable, just in case.
