I'm doing this for a friend who lives out in the boonies. He already has the Cat5e installed, but it is a single run over 200m long, with no place in the middle with power for a switch.

Had he gotten me before putting in the cable, we could well have installed Fibre instead, but that's still somewhat pricey for his limited budget.

Surprisingly, he can connect a laptop to the far end of the ethernet (>200m) and it does work already! But from speaking with him it is a bit hit and miss at times, and other gear may not be as forgiving as the laptop.

So I'm going to arrive there in a few weeks with a couple of in-line repeaters, some PoE injection capability, and other assorted goodies. I'm hopeful that a single repeater at the 100m mark will beef it up enough without having to daisy chain a second one.

There will be a TP-Link EAP225-Outdoor AP plugged into the end of the run. It is also a PoE device, but I don't know that there'll be enough juice left after >200m of cable with a repeater. So hoping to use a (supplied with AP) local/passive PoE injector for that.

The only question is whether I need to isolate it from the PoE coming in over the >200m run or not. Will test that here when the Amazon Guy drops by this Saturday.
