Our host site needed an internet connection in an adjoining building, more then 650 feet away and across the street from the CDL studio. Normally I would recommend OM3 fiber, which is good for 10GB.
As the host is taking a severe financial hit due to COVID19, we came up with a much cheaper solution: Using RG-11 coax (Cable Television feeder) we installed an aerial cable, using normal outside plant protection techniques (a lightning arrestor at both ends where the coax enters the building, along with an 8' ground rod from the big box store)
The coax connects to a pair of these, which is providing a solid 850 Mbps connection: Link to adapter
So if you need a way to get an internet connection to your studio, and there is leftover cable TV wiring, this is an easy way to do it.
