How to lay an Internet cable for 300 meters?
Good afternoon. The task is to lay the Internet from the server room to the remote cash desk for about 300 meters. In the server room there is a twisted-pair switch. Will the following connection scheme work: From a switch with an Internet from a server twisted pair cable to a media converter for heating, then laying optics for 300 meters, and the reverse transition through a media converter to a twisted pair cable already in the computer?

Taking into account repeaters, power supplies, lightning protection (if 300 meters are not inside the same room) ... optics will not be much more expensive, but also with a reserve for the future.
If only the cash desk - it's probably cheaper to throw a coax. And at the ends are two transceivers.
It will work, but isn't it greasy for some scruffy cash desk? Such a channel is appropriate for connecting a couple of hundred fully working users on the Internet ...
Wifi with narrowly directed antennas is also possible, and also a little expensive, and also less reliable (line of sight, weather). However, to reduce the cost, you can try a cheap household WiFi-pipe with home-made antennas based on satellite dishes - I did it, it works even further than 300. But you need to do this, and then also configure ...
So the most trivial usual way remains: divide your 300 meters into three segments (you can risk trying two if the cable is of high quality and shielded, but this is against the rules), connect repeaters between the segments, which are suitable for cheap 100-megabit switches. The price of the issue is one cable bay and two (one?) switches. Do not forget to also bring 220 volt power to the repeater locations.
