TUPAVCO is the only way to plug and play

I needed internet in my shed. My home's Wi-Fi signal couldn't get through the metal siding of the barn, which was about 225 feet away. I did a lot of research and TUPAVCO Tex-100 seemed like a good option to implement. Run two (2) CAT6 cables (shielded with drain wire) in 1 inch PVC pipe and bury to an average depth of 8 inches. I ran 2 cables to have 1 spare in case of need. There were a few issues connecting the RJ45 connectors, but after a few tries I got the cables to test. I connected two (2) pre-configured TUPAVCO modules and got 50MB/s like I was sitting next to my WiFi router at home. Very easy! I originally had PLAN A with two (2) UBIQUITI Nanostation Loco M2s and PLAN B is TUPAVCO TEX-100. Sorry but UBIQUITI Nanostations had a big problem installing/configuring and subsequently one of them failed after only 2 weeks. I am much happier with TUPAVCO cables and modules, even with the time it takes to route, pull and terminate the cable. The ditch was already open for my plumbing, so I just threw my cable and line in the same ditch. TUPAVCO modules do not need to be configured. If the distance was much longer (1000 feet or more) I probably would have stayed with UBIQUITI. In my particular case, I can only give TUPAVCO excellent marks. Now the test of time has begun. I have already purchased two (2) Ethernet POE Surge Protectors from TUPAVCO. TP-302 and install.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
