I am currently decorating a couple of rooms and so am taking the opportunity of drilling through the wall to run an ethernet cable from the router in the lounge to my pc in the office/bedroom.
I am looking particularly for some thin flat cable about 10 meters long, similar to a telephone extension cable that I bought for my mother, this ran under the carpet and could not be seen and did not cause a ridge in the carpet either.
My question is, are there any problems with connections of that length (10m) i.e. is there any loss of signal and, I have noticed that the adverts refer to RJ45 Cat 5e and Cat 6, is Cat 6 merely an updated version of 5e?
Does any particular manufacturers cable come recommended?
Many thanks.
