Sixnet industrial ethernet switches (Score 3, Informative)

I ran into a similar perdicament last year where I needed a low power ethernet switch/hub to connect two wireless units on a tower where the cable lengths to the ground were too long.

We ended up using industrial ethernet switches from Sixnet. The price wasn't _too_ bad, I seem to recall $500 for a 5 port switch. Their site is: here

Taking a look at the specifications located here they have units in the 2W Range.

I hope this helps. BTW, we've had no problems with the unit, even after a lightning strike that nuked two of the connected radios.
