Ethernet Extender for Extended Network Reach

Ethernet cable extenders help in increasing the overall length of ethernet cables. These extenders can be either passive or active. Passive extenders are basically simple devices which can moderately increase the cable length by boosting the electrical signal. On the contrary, active ethernet cable extenders are more complex and use electronics to digitate and amplify the ethernet signal. These are beneficial in cases where the gap between different network devices is larger than the accepted length of ethernet cables (for example, 100 meters for Cat5e and Cat6). In large scale industries or in a campus network, ethernet cable extenders can be applied to link buildings or far - spaced network nodes to ensure good quality ethernet based communication over larger distances.
