Product Information

It’s also possible for cables to have multiple shielding solutions, and you can have cables that are shielded with braiding, but there’s no foil on the internal wires. In fact, it’s worth remembering that most broadband routers still don’t deliver 1Gbps Wi-Fi, so a Cat5e cable still isn’t a bottleneck. At the same time, there are other factors that can determine whether your cable will alter the speed performance and I am mostly talking about the interference (EMI). You can quickly find the shield status of Ethernet cables by looking at the codes on the cables themselves. If you don’t intend to have any wired connections beyond the modem/router patch cable, your only concern is having the correct Ethernet cable that matches your plan’s speed.

Frequency (and therefore data rate) can be increased by increasing the gauge of the conductor wires, adding more twists to the conductors, or adding shielding to each pair of conductors. With a wireless network, it’s sometimes easier to connect devices over a longer distance, but when speed or latency is important you should always try to use longer ethernet cables. Outdoor cable generally comes on reels from 20m up to 305m, and you’ll need a special ‘punch-down’ tool to push the wires into the connectors on the faceplates. Outer Braided Shield/Foiled Twisted Pair (S/FTP) — Foil wraps around each twisted pair, which are separated by a cross divider.

A shielded cable suppresses electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, while an unshielded cable does not. Perhaps extending the cable once or even twice will work, but going for a mile or more is just asking for trouble – some people suggest to not go above 7 switches due to the Spanning Tree Protocol. The outer PVC jacket isn’t meant for outdoor use but is sturdy enough to prevent conductor breaks within.

GG45 (GigaGate 45) or ARJ45 (Augmented RJ45) is a connector originally developed by French cable company Nexans for use with Cat7 cable. Each wire inside the Ethernet cable (remember, four twisted pairs) slips into each position in the connector. Instead of risking damaging the hard-to-replace port on your device, the extension lead could take the brunt of it, leaving you with a much cheaper replacement to worry about. They mention that it fits in tight spaces, easy to fit everywhere in the house, maintains a good internet speed and that it looks and feels like quality. Some outdoor ethernet cables come with RJ-45 connectors fitted at each end, but if you’re routing the cable through a wall, you’ll have to cut those off anyway – or drill unnecessarily large holes.DbillionDa’s CAT 8 Ethernet cable is the best cable you can get for many reasons, but at first glance, it may seem like overkill for your needs.
