    Moved apartment last weekend, the old cables(cheapo Maplins 25 foot or so) are not long enough.

    Does anyone know of a place in Dublin that will make me a cat-5 cable with connectors ~50 feet in length, also looking for a quality coax cable for the telly, the old Maplins 25 footer did have noticable quality degradation, which doubled would be unwatchable, so looking for a better solution (booster and crappy cable or just quality cable?).

    Is there anywhere in Dublin that wil make me up a cat 5 and a coax with connectors?

    I would have thought that Maplins would have been a good bet, I've got cat5 made up in ITDirect on
    parliment street before.

    How much for a box of CAT5?
    Will the thin ethernet cable work for Tvs too? is it better quality? I have about 30foot of the stuff at home which i won't be using anymore. If it's good enough to take 10MBits of 1s and 0s it should be able to take RTÉ :p

    Might also get a booster box.
    Is it poissible to build your own?
    I'm only guessing here, bt does it just involve putting extra current / voltage through the aerial to increas gain or does it involve frequencir/modulation stuff too?
