Part Number: TM4C1294KCPDT

I have a customer planning to use TM4C1294KCPDT.  Main question is regarding ability to reliably drive 100 meter Ethernet cable.

 

Can you provide insight regarding this?

    Hi Greg,
    The specification for max length is 100m. You want to make sure a good quality Cat5e or Cat6 cable is used.

    Agree 100% w/Charles - yet in addition - the 'entire 100m RUN' of cable must be 'properly & well treated!'     Simply 'stepping' on the cable - may cause signal distortion.    Severe 'bending or folding' ... even if released/corrected ... may also cause such damage.

    Cable supplier should provide a 'laundry list' of (very) proper handling.      And then the cable installers must  'Comply w/vendor's directives!'      (Not to ask ... HOW I Know...)
