I really hope someone can help me with this issue.
I have a TL-SF1008P switch that seems to be having trouble powering (or at least sending and transmitting) my two new cameras over longer runs.
Here's the scenario. I am currently running one foscam 9805w (about a 70ft run from switch to poe splitter for camera). I've had this camera setup for a couple of years and I don't recall why I had to use the splitter, but I had a reason at one point. It may have been simimar to the issue I'm having now.
I had two other foscam cameras that were powered via power supply and they have recently quit working so I wanted to replace them with wired poe cameras. I ordered two hikvision ds-2cd2020-i and have an issue. I can connect the cameras and they run just fine with a 25' cable I made. When I try to connect them to one of the two roughly 75' cables I made from the same spool the poe light will come up on the switch, then the transmit/receive lights will come up briefly then go off (and continue this process). I have tested both long cables with the cable tester and do not believe they are bad. Can someone please help me understand what may be going on? Has anyone successfully used this switch with cables around 75-100' without issue?
The cable is Honeywell Catlink 6 Plus P/N 5092 4PR23 (ETL) 308135 CMR/CL2R Sunres (rohs) etl verified cat 6 c
Any help is greatly appreciated
