Hello,

I need to get network access into my garage which is about 40m from the
house. I've tried wireless but the signal is terrible in the garage and
typically only 2mb/s at best.
So CAT 5 it is. Does anyone know of an outdoor grade cable, or should I
use
"normal" cable sheathed in garden hose or something?
Any other soultions people have used with success?

Do you have mains power to the garage? If it's on the same phase as the
house, then this might work:

I put in a pair of these recently to get ethernet out to a barn which
saved me the hassle of running a catenarry wire and strapping cat5
to that...

Hi Gordon,

Is this to just replace a point to point link, or can several be plugged in
and run concurrently
albeit at possibly a slower rate ?

Thanks,

Nick
