Are you planning at running this underneath the house? I think the hardest think might be just running the cable through the wall. If you've never crimped you might want to buy the basics and do some practice. |

| I want to install an ethernet connection from one side of my house to another..probably 150ft cable i'm assuming. I'm doing this so I can stream hdtv from my media center pc to my xbox 360 (media extender). Exactly how hard would it be to do this? I have experience with computers and am tech-savvy, but I've never installed ethernet or anything. Would it be difficult for a networking-n00b to do, or are there kits that could with the cable, two faceplates? I've seen pre-wired faceplates and 150ft cat5 cable on newegg.com. BTW, I've also found cat3, not sure what the difference is between cat3, but I think what i'm looking for is Cat5e... |
