Thanks everyone for the comments & suggestions, it's been a great help.

Looks like I'm OK with cables.

Thanks again.

I have a site where the two main servers (Windows) are located about 15 'cable' metres from the switch (switch A) they plug into.

Each server has 3 NICs.

I'm wondering what others would do?

Would you run 6 cables from the servers to switch A

or

place a switch (switch B) near the servers and run 1 cable from switch B to switch A?

Thanks for any help.

anyone know how i can launch an RDP session from a web page?
I want a page of server addresses, click on one, mstsc.exe launches and you log in.

friday morning, overcast and cool, slight drizzle.
feels like winter will bite this year.

thursday morning, welcome everyone.

@nadnerb after visiting a few suppliers, there's no stock!!
went with kyocera.
thanks guys.

while i've got you here, who now makes good office printers? Print runs of 5-20 pages, duplexing, colour, networked.

HP & Canon used to be the bees knees, Kyocera seem reliable, but I'm not a fan, Lexmark are .. Oki, don't really know.

2 hours in, i've got a whopping 7% of it.

i only chose the 32 bit version, it should only take half as long to download as the 64 bit version right?

@nadnerb yes, it's very high on the list.
Not this year though, I don't think the aboriginal communities are opening up???
Plus, last time I looked, it was extremely wet where the track goes, so it'd be a bit too muddy for me.
Maybe 2022??
