Question

Also, can you send and example of the kind of ethernet cable required to connect 2 stage boxes?

Answer 1

yes you can. You MAY have latency issues jumping between 3 hops but you also may not. Try it. The most robust cabling would be ethercon cables although any Cat5e or Cat6 will work they just won't be as rugged. If you are mobile and breaking down and setting up a lot go with ethercon.
