Hi,
I've got a showcentre and want to hard wire it to my PC using Cat5.
The thing is they are a couple of rooms apart and what I'd like to do is run the cable round the outside of my house.
So a couple of questions and your thoughts please...
- is there any specific cable type I should get?
- should I get 'lightning protection' (?!?)?
- how should I enter and exit the house (is a hole in the wall acceptable)?
- how should I attach to the wall to make things look neat and tidy (for the Mrs!)?
- and just to confirm, the max recommended cable length is 100m, right?
Thanks!
