CAT5 cabling query
Hi all,
we're having Telewest BB fitted next week. I imagine they will put the box on the wall where the TV & Phone points are. Unfortunately the PC is two rooms away. To be neat and tidy I want to have two RJ45 (is it) boxes one each wall. I'll run the cable (about 15m) over the loft. Having never done this sort of thing before (phones yes, networks no) will I need any special tools ? I have a huge reel of CAT5 cable which I bought from a previous employer after they'd done their networking. Can I just buy 2 sockets and use those ? AIUI Telewest will leave a BB modem which will have a socket for a USB connection and an RJ45 to go into the network card (which I am fitting - also a legacy of my last employer). So I'll need a couple of 12" patch leads to go Modem-wall socket then wall socket-PC Any gotchas to watch out for. Thanks in advance |
