@jriggy This one has been recommended here and can be had up to 98 ft. Hope this helps, and best of luck.
Ethernet cables
I’m of the opinion given what I’ve read that Ethernet cables, along with everything else in the streaming chain, can make a significant difference in ultimate streaming performance (please those who think it’s just 1s and 0s please stay out of this). Due to this I bought a Wireworld Starlight 8 Ethernet cable because it seems much better than generic cables but certainly far short of the higher $$$ Ethernet cables (the WW platinum would be an obvious case in point). My question is, with the Starlight 8 how much good can I expect over lower-priced or generic Ethernet cables and how much more performance can I expect from stepping up to better Ethernet cables? Please be specific if you’ve directly A/Bed the Starlight 8 versus better cables as that’d be very useful and helpful info. Thanks!

@jriggy why not get mesh network and put one of the access points close to your system. You can then use short Ethernet cable of better quality than you would have with your 100ft run. |
@audphile1 Big +1, and then you don’t have to go to the expense of having an electrician run a wire unless you really want to. |
I suggest the Blue Jeans Cat 5e (Belden 1700A) patch cable - https://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/data-cables/index.htm. Proven performance as every cable is tested before it ships to make sure it's within spec (you're given the test printout in the package).
If you want to future-proof your in-wall run, I would go with the Blue Jeans Horizontal 6A cable. |
