Hi all

I have my upgrade to Sky HD being installed this weekend, and I'm going to be piping it into another room using one of these Media Factory - Octava HDOCAT, HDMI + Optical 5.1 over CAT5 Extender inc. IR Passthru

The run between rooms will be 25m, which will all be outdoors. So I'm quickly searching for a Cat6/5 external cable solution to get it all connected. Can anyone recommend anywhere to get it from? The Octava system recommends Cat 6 - will it make a difference?

Can i use normal RJ45 connectors to terminate the cables?
and lastly - would anyone advise ending with a faceplate? or can will this degrade the signal? Should I just run it to RJ45 connectors?

Any feedback on experiences with how create Cat5/6 cables and this kind of install will be appreciate as I'm new to this!

Thanks
