Cut ethernet cable

Jointing cable min run is asking for trouble down the line.

Just scrap that cable, and run a new cable once the build is complete. Make sure you run it properly, either in proper duct outdoors, or run it internally.

The amount of people who buy expensive gear and cable, and then make a complete bollox of running the cable is unreal - cat 6 cable buried directly in the ground, bent into kinks, or **** botched up ducting arrangements.

Well would you not rather just do it once and do it right, rather than make a bollox of a job and having to come back and go at it again the second time.

It is not a fair point, it ought to be blindingly obvious

ao two joins = more losses= more trouble.

re-lay the ducting and run a new cable

have you elec in the red tube also as its restricted for Elec cables

Thanks for quick reply.My other tv has a designated ethernet marked socket. I think your saying just go ahead and plug the ethernet cable into the LAN socket,same thing.

Quite a shock to discover really smart people like me,who built computers in Belfast long before most people on boards were born,dont seem to know everything? Many thanks. Think you meant Yes to my question.
