Patch cord or cable box?
Ready patch cords (1 m to 30 m) have RJ45 plugs fitted and are plug-and-play. For wiring a house or office through walls and conduits, a 305 m solid-copper box is used and the ends are crimped or punched into sockets. Use outdoor / UV-rated cable for runs outside the building.
Frequently asked questions
Which LAN cable is best for gaming?
A Cat6 cable gives full 1 Gbps with low latency, which covers almost every home internet plan. Choose Cat6A or Cat7 if your router, switch or PC has 2.5 Gbps or 10 Gbps ports.
What is the maximum length of a LAN cable?
Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A and Cat7 cables work up to 100 m per run; Cat8 up to 30 m. For longer distances use a switch in between or fibre.
Is Cat7 better than Cat6?
Cat7 is shielded and rated for 10 Gbps up to 100 m; Cat6 is rated for 1 Gbps up to 100 m and 10 Gbps up to about 55 m. For a normal 1 Gbps home connection both give the same speed.
