Have two buildings on private property. Something less than 4000 feet apart. Running CAT3 25 pair between buildings. Would like to setup a c2600 with WIC-T1 mod at each location and run a T1 crossover patch cable on one end. Clocking would be setup on one end.
Question: Can the WIC-T1 pump out a strong enough signal to propagate the signal 4000 feet?
TIA FIF
The WIC-1DSU-T1 has the 3 standard T1 line build out db levels.
You will probably need T1 repeaters to go 4000 ft

For that distance, optical would be the recommended choice, to avoid grounding problems and potential damage from lightning strikes.
Do yourself a favor and run some strands of fiber as well for data. The additional cost will be minimal compared to the gains. I'm not sure if you need your cat3 for voice, and you're taking all the lightening protection that you'll need for it, but this isn't the group for that.
Doubtful. The card output is usually rated for 655 feet without repeaters, like most T1 devices, and that is with the most buildout it supports.
The best copper solution for that distance would probably be a DSL type technology (LRE), but go with fiber instead and you can do pretty much anything you need.
