Cat5 cable

**SOUTHERN WOODS** · 07-29-2011, 02:46 PM

I need about a hundred feet of Cat5 cable. One internet source has it for around $10 + shipping. Local source has it for $45.

Is there different qualities of cable or it is basically all the same?

Should be about the same. If you are in Columbia, go to Cable and connections on leaphart rd.

Appreciate it, might be up that way tomorrow.

SW, where you located? Yeah it's about the same.

Ask for James.

James is good people.

I might have a short section (100') laying around that we cant use.

Appreciate it, just placed an order. If that doesn't work out I'll check the suggestion in Cola if I head that way.

Well, all my boxes are complete...no short sections, and C&C is closed on Saturdays...

You can even get it by the foot at Lowes I believe.

Why not Cat-6?

**Steelin' Ducks** · 07-29-2011, 10:54 PM

Why use 6 over 5?

**Geetch** · 07-29-2011, 11:03 PM

It is one number higher. Sort of like an amp that goest to 11 instead of 10.

Cat6 is becoming the standard. Probably not a major concern now, but if you are installing cable, may as well go with a faster one.

One more question, would Cat5e or Cat 6 with RJ11 ends be more secure than regular phone line for a DSL connection?

Probably ten feet or so from the jack to the modem. I have the second to the highest tier of dsl service available in my neighborhood with At&t. At times it runs a bit slow, and I'm just trying to make sure I have my wiring squared away and am getting my money's worth.

Appreciate any help.
