Great insight. I appreciate bringing in the point of testing cables. We have run on this issue many times before. Testing the cable can relieve you from much head ache.

We published this particular conversion kit due to the fact that it works very well with our Mobotix camera line.

There are many many devices like this on the market, most of them basic derivatives of HPNA and DSL technologies developed in the 90's.

When they work, they work really well, but you will often find that old wiring has a lot of ghosts lurking in it. Things thing poor splice jobs, taps that are not obvious at first and corrosion at junction blocks can really massively degrade the throughput.

If you're going to be using these sorts of devices for IP video, it can be helpful to run a simple iperf (or similar) test between two devices at the endpoints to see what kind of throughput you can reasonably expect.

I have an Asus EEE netbook that is handy for being one end of a network throughput or connectivity test.
