I have some questions about the TP Link 1008 switch. Does anyone know how far it will reach under normal conditions?
Reason I ask is that I have a turret camera from LTS hooked to the switch that doesn't seem to respond. The POE light on the switch lights up but the data light stays dark. The cat5e cable runs probably 60-70 feet from the switch. I would think POE would reach that far. The cat5e is 24AWG unshielded pure copper and is running through my attic.
I have two other cameras, a cube and a dome, that work just fine with the same cable and are tied into the same switch. The longest run of the two is about 30 feet. I read, on Amazon I believe, that if you connect more than two devices that the third might suffer power-wise depending on how much is being used by the other two.
The camera works fine when I plug it in using a 6' cable. The next step is re-running the cable but wanted to see if its worth it before doing so. I almost contemplated putting an injector inline but not sure if that would harm the camera downstream or not.
Thanks.
