we are about to run a thin-net cable across the street from our server to link a client workstation. the distance is approximately 400' through a narrow conduit, then another 150' or so, via the telephone switching center. the other end also passes the telephone switching room, but is much shorter (30'). what type of cable would be practical, and what might be optimal. i would assume we need shielded coaxial, but does it have to be extra shielded? what might this type of cable cost? i've heard the name beldon, but don't know what that is or whether we need it? any suggestions? PLEASE SEND REPLIES VIA E-MAIL. thanks. ----------------------------- Alan Epstein Meta Software Corp UUCP: ...bbn!metasoft!alan 150 Cambridgepark Dr Internet/ARPA: alan%metasoft@bbn.com Cambridge, MA 02140 USA -----------------------------
