That depends on the power and bandwidth requirements of your application. At a minimum you can expect 1Gbps at 200 meters (656 feet) and you can expect 10 Mb/s at 259 meters (850 feet.) You can also expect to deliver 802.3at Type 2 "PoE+" up to 850 feet.
Yes, the GameChanger Cable is agnostic to the type of Ethernet traffic you are running. We have seen customers using GameChanger to solve long distance cabling issues for access points, surveillance cameras, VoIP phones, point of sale devices, access control, digital signage, and much more.
The Gamechanger has been designed with an increased gauge size, carefully designed twisting and specialty materials to be optimized for long distance Ethernet applications.
We recommend the following connectors from Platinum Tools. We recommend downloading this flyer for more info on terminating the GameChanger.

For a reliable, extra long distance run (greater than 200 meter / 656 feet) you should be using a managed PoE Switch. For any port connected to a longdistance GameChanger run, make sure it is set to 10 Mbps. Don't assume auto configuration will sufficiently detect the bandwidth and adjust. If you'reusing a network camera, you'll need to be sure your video stream is configured appropriately as well. If you're unsure how much bandwidth your video stream will use, you can consult an online tool like this.
Several of the world's largest security integrators (6 out of the top 8) began deploying the GameChanger as early as 2016. Consultants and Engineers around the world have specified the GameChanger as a critical part of their solutions for everything from airports to banks and parking structures to amusement parks.
