Re: [ukha_d] A quick novice question – how to extend Cat 5??!

["Alistair Watkins" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

hi,

depending on thier current length (cant remember what the max recommeneded
is) you can get a little box, that you just plug 2 cables into and it
creates a good clean join.

they are about a quid each, although you will have to buy the extra cable
of course...

bit of a quick cheap and drag cables round your house way though.. but it
has worked fine for me in the past.

regards
