Rookie question
I want to run Ethernet from PLC cabinet to HMI cabinet some 27 feet away.
On this project we are using cabling to connect remote devices
The idea was to break out the Ethernet cable into separate strands to terminal blocks, then through the cable to HMI cabinet, through the terminal blocks, then break into an Ethernet plug to the HMI.
Has anyone ever attempted this? Was it successful? If not why?
Your shared experience will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and attention
