Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

What is the distance rating of Cat6? I thought more like 33m?
When used for [10/100/1000] BASE-T (which I do), the maximum length of Cat 6 cable is 100 meters.
(Frigate is already pulling a steady and stable stream)
I think that’s only for 40GBASE. For say 1000BASE, it’s 100m. Could be wrong though.
There's even an extend.mode on some POE switches that's good for 250m or so, but it drops to 10Mbps. That's possibly enough for a POE camera with one client, though.
CAT6 is rated for 10Gbps up to 55m or 1Gbps up 100m. In reality, outside with no other RF interference sources speed losses upto 100m are going to be negligible even on CAT5.
Even a 4k video stream only uses 24Mbps on average so whatever you use above CAT5/5e would be more than enough.
