As a remmediation you can bring an rj45 coupler (bonus points for plastic version) and a (short) unshielded cable. The maximum distance to your nearest Datenklo will be approximately 50 meters, but bringing a longer cable is a good idea if you want to be sure. If your cable isn't long enough, you might find someone within range who has a switch and can plug you in. -- GitLab
