fjohnsen · Rpi4 and ethernet, maximum cable length? fjohnsen June 15, 2021 at 9:55 AM

Wifi is disabled.

Can it be that the computer can handle the issues (incorrectly wired or faulty cables) but the rpi cant?

Hi,

I have been using kodi/libreelec with wifi for some time but as it sometimes lags I decided to try a wired connection instead. However when I try to change connection type the eth0 just "blink" idle and then disappears and then returns later one just to disappear again. Anyone that knows what this could be?

All cables between switch and rpi are cat6 (approx. 15m in total), it works just fine if I connect a 10m cat5e directly between the switch and the rpi. Is there a maximum lenght of ethernet cables that the rpi can handle? I plugged my laptop into the "port" in the wall and it works great, pings both internally and externally without any lost packages.

All support is appreciated.
