Switch

[Order of the Holy Cross]

I have two Cisco SF 300-48P 10/100 PoE Managed Switch, and I am trying to connect the switch over 220  feet distance with a Cat 6 cable but it does not work. Data of the cable in the PDF File

If I connect my Computer to it I have internet on the PC, but if I connect the second switch I get no connection.

If I connect the two switch over 10 feet distance it works fine.

Is the distance to long???

In the document of the switch is written 100 meters is possible

I have to do some settings??

Thank you for helping

Hello,

you typically would need a crossover cable. On the SF300 you can set the MDIX to 'auto' (page 127/128 of the attached guide)...

I used a crossover adapter but it does not work with it.
MDIX is Auto
is there a difference between a crossover cable and crossover adapter???


Thanks for help

Hello

100 metres on cat 6 is the limit-  it’s possible taking cabling management into consideration your exceeding the defined limitations of copper 

[Georg Pauwen]

Good point ! I seem to recall that there is actually Cat 6 and Cat 6a, where Cat 6 has a limit of somewhere around 50 meters for >10G, whereas Cat 6a goes up to 100 meters for these data rates. Although you don't have 10G ports, at least make sure you are using 6a...
