[QUOTE="Kar98, post: 231026, member: 16329"] Why not, I wonder? Last time I checked, CAT5 cable runs 30 cents a foot at Home Depot. The also sell the crimping tool and the plugs.You can run (theoretically) CAT5 up to a hundred meters/364 feet. On a run that long, you'll want to make sure not to loop or bend it to much, and when crossing power or phone lines, cross them at 90º, don't run them parallel. 150 ft is not a problem. I'm running 4 computers on two different floors in a 6,300 square foot house. (I'm also running an additional 802.11b WLAN and a couple of wireless phones on the same frequency range. Not a problem) Do follow the directions on how to wire the plugs, don't assume "well, as long as they are both the same on each end, it won't matter" [img]http://www.lcwireless.net/Support/Docs/Pics/RJ-45.JPG[/img] [/QUOTE]
