CAT 5 in 2008 built house
Currently running a Netgear to move metadata upstairs to my Naim Core from downstairs modem. I've been sufficiently berated for my pillock behavior; introducing countless frequency nasties into the system by way of the Netgear. Okay, I get it. Help me move on.
Research says CAT 5 is 100 meters max run. Temporarily, I'm considering running a winding 150ft. CAT 5 up the stairs from the modem until properly running it through the walls and then it should be properly upgraded anyway.
What say you geniuses? And thank you only for the intelligent workable solutions.

You specified 150ft. I assume you figured a little extra cable to be on the safe side. FYI, do not tightly coil up the excess cable. A tightly coiled Ethernet cable can cause data errors. . |
