I am getting a new router (gigabit, draft N, wireless), however I want to connect some machines, wired. Do I need a cat5 or a cat5E patch cable type? Can anyone also recommend a good shop to buy cables? Also I need my cable company to come in and extend the cable that goes to the cable modem, so it can be moved to the other side of the room. <-- I know that I should not inter-connect the cable with a connector. My cable modem is currently 10 Mbps.
If I am wrong - please set me straight. Thanks in advance, deb
Be careful at best buy, they may try to sell you some gold-titanium alloy plated wires with silicone coated wirecasing to give lightning fast speed and performance. All for only $99.00 for a 6ft cable.
