I just routed a hole through part of the ceiling to run a 6" vent from the top of my server rack, (using a cardboard box and some plastic air conditioner venting, I'll record a video at some point detailing it, it works really well actually) and it's the perfect opportunity to route the power and Ethernet lines through there, allowing the door to be closed all the way (reducing the noise) and keeping a couple cables out of the way.
However, the Ethernet cable I have is not long enough, so I face either buying a whole new Ethernet cable which is longer, or using one of those f to f adapters to extend it by a a few feet.
I'm just curious if anyone has had any horror stories or issues with those, if they have affected bandwidth speeds, or data integrity. It's certainly not a critical application, but I figured I would check to see if people who have tried them out have encountered issues with them before.
In theory, they shouldn't unless they were ridiculously low quality, and I'm only getting around 12-20mb/s download speeds, I just wanted to double check.
