I am needing to drop a cable from my router in the living room through the attic to my office. I will need about 100 ft just to be safe. My ISP is supplying 1G but I plan to upgrade to 2.5G when they have it in my area in a few years. What cable brands on Amazon provide a reliable, safe Cat 6/6a for traversing an attic space that can get well above 130 during the summers? A link with some quick spec breakdowns for a newbie would be very much appreciated. It may run between the studs where my outlet is wired if that matters. I've seen the prices of plenum and riser cables that I could crimp myself, but I don't need 1000 ft and am trying to buy only what's needed to safely get the job done. A lot of off brand stuff on Amazon sketches me out so if you have success stories with some brands offered on Amazon that can be used in hot attic spaces I'd love to see what's actually good for home use. I see Monoprice popping up on some older posts and am curious if that's still correct to use for my case. Thanks! Edit: thank you to the person/bot that took advantage of this being my first post on this account by downvoting it, hope that doesn't impact me getting the solution I need. Edit 2: I really appreciate everyone helping out! Hopefully I can get my PC to do better than 15 mbps soon!! submitted by /u/Ok-Intern7131 to r/HomeNetworking [link] [comments]

I am in the middle of purchasing items for setting up my Reolink Video doorbell (now) and then cameras (later on this year). I'm going with the PoE doorbell so I need to run ethernet through my Florida attic and/or under my eaves. I was just chatting with Reolink's tech support, who said their cables are built for outdoor and attic use, so I'm leaning that way. I also looked at some Monoprice outdoor cables and although I was comparing 100 ft of Reolink's CAT5 ($25) vs. Monoprice's CAT6 ($55) I was kind of caught off-guarerd by the price difference. Monoprice didn't have outdoor rated Cat5 in anything but big spools. Does anyone have any concerns with the Reolink cables, or are Cat6/6a versions providing any additional benefits I need or should consider? submitted by /u/GC_Woodworking to r/reolink [link] [comments]

[UPDATE] https://www.reddit.com/r/HomeNetworking/comments/1qxvzbj/update_intermittent_ethernet_disconnects_on/ As the title says, I’ve had this Ethernet run for a little over 2 years and recently I’m starting to see more frequent disconnects (usually for about 20–30 seconds at a time). It’s about a 100 ft Cat7 cable I bought from Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08P2T35TZ?th=1 The cable is inside a conduit and buried about 2 feet underground. It runs from my modem/router to a switch in my office. It does say direct burial, i still put it into a conduit. When the issue happens, I can see on the modem/router that the Ethernet connection itself drops (not just internet). I’m trying to figure out what could be causing this before I go through the pain of digging up the conduit and pulling a new cable. Has anyone dealt with something similar? Is this likely moisture damage, bad terminations, or just a low-quality cable failing over time? Any troubleshooting tips would be appreciated. submitted by /u/Hungry-Bicycle-3851 to r/HomeNetworking [link] [comments]

My townhouse was built with CAT5E solid core throughout the house. All runs should be under 100 ft. I am looking for a cable tester that can tell me the bandwidth capabilities of specific cables in the townhouse. I want to install 4k HDR A/V over Ethernet transceivers that require 10Gbps cabling for a couple of runs, and I want to see if re-terminating the runs will help me to get solid 10Gbps speeds. Are there any (hopefully not-to-expensive) Ethernet cable testers that can tell me my end-to-end data rate bandwidth? My fiber connection is 1 Gbps, so any testers that just do ping tests to the internet won't tell me anything. submitted by /u/RkOShea to r/ethernet [link] [comments]

[Check Latest arrivals cat5 ethernet cable 50 ft on Amazon.] Best Cat5 Ethernet Cable 50 ft in 2025: Top Picks The Cat5 Ethernet cable 50 ft is the unsung hero of stable, wired internet connections. In today's digital landscape, where Wi-Fi congestion and security concerns are prevalent, a reliable Ethernet cable remains essential for consistent performance. A 50-foot cable offers a versatile length, providing flexibility in connecting devices without excessive slack or limitations. This review delves into the top Cat5 Ethernet cables currently available, highlighting their key features, benefits, and suitability for various users, ensuring you can make an informed decision when upgrading or setting up your network. [explore Top Rated cat5 ethernet cable 50 ft on Amazon.] Key Features Analysis The Cat5 Ethernet cable, despite being an older standard, still provides adequate bandwidth for many home and small office applications. Choosing the right cable involves carefully considering several factors that influence performance and durability. Cable Construction and Materials: Modern Cat5 cables utilize twisted pairs of copper wires encased in a protective jacket, often made of PVC or a flame-retardant material. The quality of the copper wiring is crucial; higher purity copper ensures better signal conductivity and reduced signal loss over the 50-foot length. The jacket protects the internal wires from physical damage and environmental factors, enhancing the cable's lifespan. Connector Type and Durability: The most common connector for Cat5 Ethernet cables is the RJ45 connector. The quality of these connectors, including the gold plating on the contacts, significantly impacts the reliability of the connection. Look for connectors that are securely crimped onto the cable and feature strain relief boots to prevent damage from bending and pulling. Bandwidth and Data Transfer Speed: Cat5 cables are typically rated for bandwidth up to 100 MHz, which can support data transfer speeds of up to 100 Mbps. While newer standards like Cat5e and Cat6 offer higher bandwidths,Cat5 is often sufficient for basic internet browsing,streaming,and file sharing in home environments. However, for bandwidth-intensive applications such as online gaming or large file transfers, consider upgrading to a higher standard.Cable Shielding: While not a standard feature of all Cat5 cables, shielded Cat5 (STP) cables offer increased protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). Shielding can be beneficial in environments with high levels of electrical noise,such as near power lines or electrical equipment,ensuring a cleaner signal and more reliable connection. Cable Flexibility and Routing: The flexibility of the cable is an important consideration, especially when routing it through tight spaces or around corners. Cables with a more flexible jacket are easier to manage and less prone to damage. Look for cables with a stranded copper conductor construction, as opposed to solid copper, which tends to be more rigid. Compliance with Standards: Ensure the cable complies with industry standards such as TIA/EIA-568-B, which specifies the wiring scheme and performance requirements for Cat5 cables. Compliance with these standards ensures that the cable meets minimum performance criteria and is compatible with other networking equipment. [Explore Top Rated cat5 ethernet cable 50 ft on Amazon.] Core Benefits Using a Cat5 Ethernet cable provides several key benefits over relying solely on Wi-Fi. The 50-foot length offers additional convenience and flexibility in connecting devices. Increased Stability and Reliability: Wired Ethernet connections are inherently more stable and reliable than wi-Fi. A direct cable connection eliminates the potential for signal dropouts, interference, and security vulnerabilities associated with wireless networks. This ensures a consistent and dependable internet connection for critical applications. Reduced Latency and Ping: Ethernet cables offer lower latency (ping) compared to Wi-Fi,which is crucial for online gaming,video conferencing,and other real-time applications. Lower latency translates to faster response times and a more seamless user experience, minimizing lag and delays. Enhanced Security: Wired Ethernet connections are more secure than Wi-Fi, as they do not broadcast signals wirelessly, making them less susceptible to eavesdropping and unauthorized access. this is particularly important for sensitive data transmissions and protecting privacy. Consistent Bandwidth Allocation: With a wired connection, bandwidth is dedicated solely to the connected device, unlike Wi-Fi, where bandwidth is shared among all connected devices. This ensures consistent performance, even when multiple devices are actively using the network. Cost-Effectiveness: Cat5 Ethernet cables are relatively inexpensive compared to newer standards like Cat6 or Cat7. For many home and small office applications, Cat5 provides sufficient bandwidth and performance at a lower cost, making it a cost-effective solution for wired networking. [Explore Top Rated cat5 ethernet cable 50 ft on Amazon.] FAQs section Is the Cat5 Ethernet cable 50 ft backward compatible with older devices? Yes, Cat5 Ethernet cables are backward compatible with older networking equipment that uses RJ45 connectors. They will work with devices that support slower Ethernet standards, such as 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. Can I use the Cat5 Ethernet cable 50 ft outdoors? Standard Cat5 Ethernet cables are not designed for outdoor use as their jackets are not typically weather-resistant. for outdoor applications, you should use a specially designed outdoor-rated Cat5 cable with a UV-resistant and waterproof jacket. How do I test the Cat5 Ethernet cable 50 ft to ensure it is working correctly? You can use an Ethernet cable tester to verify the cable's continuity and wiring configuration.These testers check for shorts, opens, and miswires, ensuring that all eight wires are properly connected and that the cable meets the TIA/EIA-568-B standard. Does the length of the Cat5 Ethernet cable 50 ft affect its performance? While longer cables can experience some signal degradation, a 50-foot Cat5 cable should not exhibit any noticeable performance issues under normal circumstances. the maximum recommended length for Cat5 cables is 100 meters (328 feet), so a 50-foot cable is well within the specified limit.

My wifi does not extend upstairs well due to the construction of the building. It would be fairly easy for me to run a 30 ft ethernet cable up the stairs from the modem to another device I keep at the top of the stairs. Then this device could broadcast the WiFi Network too, making for a strong single on both floors. But what device should I put on the other end of the Ethernet cable at the top of the stairs? I've looked into a few "Access Points", but most are either Just plug into the wall and use the electrical wiring, not Ethernet. I don't think this will work well for me. Super expensive ones made for corporate offices Really beefy ones (which look ugly and become a tripping hazard at the top of the stairs) Is there anything that will let me extend my wifi network with a long Ethernet cable but be relatively small and cost under $50? $100 max?

Not sure if my cable is damaged or the ASUS router ethernet jacks are terrible. I have a ~30M (100 ft) long ethernet cable. For some reason it will connect, show "green", but it won't work for actually building a solid link (internet isn't available). Are the ASUS router ethernet ports bad, or perhaps is my cable damaged? Whoever downvoted this post can suck it. I believe I root caused it to a faulty device connected to a switch hat was sending bad packets on the network.

Hey everyone to start I have very little experience with cable and WiFi so was reaching to you guys for help because I know there are a lot of bad cables out there and I am unsure which brand and Cat I need for Ethernet cable and switches. I am only planning on running on my network at most about 7-8 devices and only 5 at most on a specific floor. other than my laptop and Xbox for live multiplayer gaming wouldn’t be needing very high speeds. I am looking for the cheapest but best solution in my case any help would be really appreciated About a month ago I switched to a new WiFi subscriber in my region the uses fiber and my previous subscription was old school cable with spectrum. I live in a three story small house (basement, main floor, and upstairs). When they installed the new fiber network they put the main unit in the basement with the main router when previously spectrum ran the cable through the ceiling of the basement to have the main router on the main floor for better overall coverage. To fix this I want to run a 100ft flat Ethernet cable from the basement to the main floor not through the wall but along the trim on the floor with clips and have the main router on the main floor again and then use short Ethernet cables to plug in from the router with a switch to my devices on the main floor. I eventually want to get a second 100ft cable to run from the main floor to upstairs to my Xbox and tv for online gaming. Any help is much appreciated.

Hi, a neighbor got a starlink kit from Home Depot the other day. They want me to set it up, but I'm pretty sure that the 50 foot ethernet won't make all the way into there living room. It will make it into the crawlspace under the house so the extender cable doesn't necessarily need to be weather proof. I have a 25ft ONN ethernet cable on hand, and I tested it on my own Starlink. Everything works, but the app claims that it's detecting an inferior cable that is capping my speeds. I'm getting 100-150 mbps where as I was getting usually over 200 so I think it is true. I could order a better cable online that I know would work like the official starlink ethernet 50' extension. But my neighbor is impatient and wants me to get something that's available at Home Depot or Walmart in store. Trouble is Walmart mostly just carries the ONN brand in store it seems. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good ethernet cable I could walk in and buy? I don't have a Best Buy or most other stores available, just Walmart and Home Depot( I live in the boonies ). submitted by /u/CoachKyle1 to r/Starlink [link] [comments]

Hi all, I've been lurking here for months, trying to solve this problem without asking for help, but I can't figure out what's happening. Sorry for the novel but I really could use some help. About 3 months ago, we had an unstable power outage - lots of on and off again. I checked everything, and it seems okay... except for the wired internet connection. We have ATT fiber - the ISP end of that is in our garage, which is detached and has (theoretically) ethernet running from the garage to the house underground (installed ~10 years ago when the house was built - probably about 150ish feet all said and done). When we upgraded to fiber, ATT would only wire one of the ports in the room where the ISP modem/router was. So we had them wire that, then plug their Modem/Router combo in, and then we had a Nighthawk router plugged into that that handles all the traffic (and the home networking features turned off on the ISP modem). We have several other rooms with ethernet cable ports that don't work. Diagram below. https://preview.redd.it/72mqs8zrlqke1.png?width=5000&format=png&auto=webp&s=61d25ff43cfd3e4c73da208d9f4817cb18fde5ca I couldn't watch when they did this initially, so I have NO IDEA how or where the switch is or how they do this. I've cracked open some of the boxes that theoretically it was in on the outside of the house, and it's just piles of COAX and ethernet cables, and I immediately gave up, not wanting to make it worse. We have 1 Gbps service, and before the power outage/whatever happened 3 months ago, we could fully use our gig service with no problems (800ish Mbps, which I think is pretty standard with the setup). After the power outage, our ISP router/modem started only seeing 100 Mbps speeds (like 98-100, all the time). We lost about 10 hours of our life talking to various ATT bots and representatives to get a human to come out; the guy came out and replaced the ISP modem in the house, but still only got 100 MBPS. He moved the ISP Modem to the garage, where it can plug directly into the Fiber connection and sees 1 Gbps. This is always true, and I can always "see" the Modem on the network using its IP, even when the speeds are slow. While the tech was there, just plugging the Nighthawk into the port - we were getting 700+ Mbps, which is close to what we saw before. So we thought it was fixed, and we moved on - he didn't have any other ideas and wasn't sure what was happening. But, between 2 and 72 hours later, we always return to 100mbps. It's been like this for two months - in the last few weeks, we've had streaming services starting to stall out and frequent "no internet" for brief periods from the router when there's high usage. We can resolve this by unplugging and reconnecting the ethernet cable from the Nighthawk router to the wall. This wasn't tenable long term, so I did some digging, pulled the faceplate off, and realized there was about 1.5 feet of uncovered but still twisted ethernet cable stuffed into the box behind the RJ45 Keystone jack. I watched many videos, read a ton here, and got the tools to re-terminate the jack - which seems to have made things better- but still, we're dropping to 100 MBPS after an indeterminate amount of time. I was nervous with my first re-cut, so I didn't remove much of the uncovered ethernet cable - but today, I got brave and re-terminated the cable, aiming for only half an inch of uncovered cable. Working well so far, but I would not be surprised if this doesn't fix the problem. So, I am asking for help - Does anyone have any idea what could be going on? To add: Some attempted fixes- I was able to get an extender (TPlink - one of the nicer ones) to connect to the ISP wifi from the garage during one attempt with a supposedly strong connection, but it gets medium speeds (300 Mbps when I was connected directly) but ended up making the connections through the house behave poorly - our house's footprint isn't huge, but we do have two stories - I think that it's just too much interference for the space. I haven't plugged the Nighthawk router into it to do a full test as I'd have to reconfigure our set up- I'd rather use the ethernet we theoretically have. I tried to live with the 100 mobs to see if we could - just so annoying to have the stallouts when all three people in the house are doing internet-intensive things (watching videos on devices, I'm gaming, streaming music, etc.). Update: Thanks for the ideas! I plugged my PC directly into the wall outlet- it's having the same issues - it goes back and forth between thinking there is or is not a cable plugged in, and then when it does come back, it's limited to 100 Mbps. When plugged into the router in the garage - full gb service. I'm gonna try to track down the switches/connections that could be at fault. Update Update: Well, an update for those of you playing along at home- turns out that the ethernet cables were all spliced a-la electrical wiring at both the house entry and the garage entry and wrapped in electrical tape. Then approximately 6 CAT cables, 6 Coax cables, and 4 phone line style cables and their accompanying splicing were jammed in an 8x8in box outside. One of the spliced and taped CAT cables was determined to be the internet and the splice had come apart. It has been dark and raining, and my motivation has been limited, so I left it disconnected. Fixing has become a multi-weekend process (and also motivated me to get all the ethernet ports in the house working, not just the one - because on study that might not be super difficult to accomplish once we get those splices fixed with the right ends), but I'm getting okay results using a wireless bridge and a lot of hope and prayer in the meantime. :) Thanks again for all your help, team! submitted by /u/fishkeeper1012 to r/HomeNetworking [link] [comments]

In my house the wifi signal is very weak so when gaming (rocket leage) my ping is usually a constant 35-40 but I had horrid packet loss. I got tired of it and purchased one of these guys at 50 ft to try and remedy it. The pocket loss got better but it's still there happens about every other game and now my ping is constantly fluctuating from the 30s to 50s and is never held constant like it was on wifi. On my ISPs router and moutem and have no idea how to make it better. Please help submitted by /u/Z_0_Sick to r/HomeNetworking [link] [comments]

Currently have your typically crappy rural internet, but am on the Starlink waiting list. I would like the ethernet cable I use to be able to both withstand the elements, but also handle the higher data rate of Starlink when I transition to it. Specific product recommendations/links are appreciated. Edit: I measured the distance and it looks like I'll need 750 ft of cable. If this is too long for a cable, are there wifi bridges that can cover this distance? Here's the two buildings. Luckily it is basically a straight shot and not much concrete to deal with https://imgur.com/lmQdu9q submitted by /u/895501 to r/HomeNetworking [link] [comments]

Building a PC for the first time and have ran into an issue regarding network connection. My wifi/router is a floor down from where the PC would be stationed, which poses a slight problem. I'm not exactly sure if using that much Ethernet cable would exactly provide good internet speeds, and if buying that much Ethernet cable would just be stupid all together. I've looked into a wifi adapter, but I'm not exactly sure what's good and what's not. I will be primarily gaming on my PC, but I'm also on a budget. I'm not looking on spending more than $30, and I've found that you can purchase 50Ft of Ethernet cord for about $10. Would it be better for my connection and speeds to buy a wifi adapter for my PC, or to buy Ethernet cables that wire down to my router. Any help and suggestions are appreciated, thanks. submitted by /u/Darth_Plagueis_ to r/buildapc [link] [comments]
