I worked around CAT 5 and 6 systems, but not directly with them.
My understanding from follow Electrical Mechanics was you can go up to 1500 feet of wire with CAT 6, maybe with CAT 5.
But for us home remote operators, I can't imagine someone running 500 yards of wire for their observatory.
I have too many obstacles to fool with when I considered do wire to the outside. Hard scapes, walkways, and the biggie... a pool.
Do let us know how it comes out and what you think of the speed and reliability, Gary. It should be good, really good.
I'm in Bortle 5-6 skies. I use a Badder Sky Glow filter all the time as a rule. Works good.
But I have an empty hole in my filter wheel in the hope someday I can find a dark site. Or the lights go out....
