With an upcoming RBI upgrade, where VDSL will be available for a family members place, looking at if i can do anything to help things out a bit..

The driveway is close on 200M Through pretty dense bushland, so a sizable distance when your talking a VDSL signal

Mapped out here is approximately the layout of the drive, ill have to give it a proper measurement in the car next time im up there, but its close enough to the map reading.


So, What crazy ideas does geekzone have, if any, for this?


before a P2P wireless link crops up, there is no way line of sight will get through, unless we go on a major culling of trees!

Not sure of if there is conduit available going up there or not (alot of the place was done cow-boyish by the previous owners), will have to get that checked too.

coffeebaron: Outdoor grade CAT5e/6 cable loosely dropped through the bush.


ild wait for the next tree to comedown and a rough dragging to snag it! ;)

is outdoor grade cat5 designed to be weathered that much?

To further that, when you say outdoor grade, do you mean the Gell Filled version or just any outdoor grade?

if so, thats probably a good solution! (assuming no conduit as if its there, may aswell use it)


I personally use this myself with outdoor jobs (rooftop AP's) - http://www.ubnt.com/accessories/toughcable/

It is pretty annoying to crimp (use their ends too) however it is pretty tough and ridged.


Doesnt look badly priced at all along side Gell Filled too.

Any Recommend place to get it from? otherwise looks like gowifi do it.



I second this cable

correct gowifi should be the cheapest they are the distributor here in nz
