I'm having some work done on the house and thought it might be worthwhile to take the opportunity to run some cat5. Not quite sure why except everybody seems to tell me to do it


Anyway, if I misjudge some of the lengths is it possible to join cat5 cable?

Thanks

yes, but buy a drum of it instead

CAT-5 is easy to extend, get a cat 5 joiner easy peasy

but you need to terminate the ends first

You can but it is easier to use home plugs instead, more flexible too.

Thanks for the advice

A continuous run will give better all round performance than using joiners.

CAT5? Why not go fibre-optic?
