Trainwire, The copper solutions are good for 100 meters, that is 300 feet. If you are going 1000' feet, copper could get you to 900' if you had 2 intermediate closets (hubs - the maximum allowed) total. But I would highly recommend the fiber optic instead. If you are going between buildings fiber optics is the only reliable choice (I have seen to much equipment desroyed by passing cloud lightning even with data ports surge protected).
