Hi been a while since i was on here so hoping some 1 can help me out a bit here, I need to get 25-30 meters of broadband/lan cable to go from my router to my computer, Broadband speed is "D.load 30mb" & UPLOAD 3mb The computer is used for some game playing by the kids and missus, IE:facebook type games Can some 1 tell me if i need CAT4 or CAT5 CAT5'e ect... or would either make a difference, also what clips would be best for the end of the cable any advice would be appreciated
1)Lan cable is typically not broadband capable. Typical LAN as it is most commonly used is baseband. Ethernet over cat-4 and cat-5 cable (specifically) use baseband signaling. 2)Cable TV uses a broadband signal. Coaxial cable is designed for broadband transmission. ". . . cable to go from my router to my computer." You want a cat-5 cable with RJ-48 connectors at both ends. On to go into your router and the other to your NIC. Unless you are buying bare cable, any Ethernet cable will have the correct connectors. N-wireless routers and NICs are coming down in price, that might be a better way to go.
