Do ethernet cable signals deteriorate the longer the cable is?
I need to purchase an etheret cable to connect a second computer in my house, planning on running it through the attic. The wireless I am using is far too slow.
My question is this, do the cables not work as well the longer they get? I estimate I will need about 20-30 feet of ethernet cable to do what I am trying to. And am worried that with that log of an ethernet cable, it won't work.
Please post your thoughts.
Thanks!
The signal does degrade but the length you want to use is nothing compared to the lengths used in commercial data cable runs. The cable will perform just fine at those lengths.
Cat5 cable will run to approx 328 feet (100 meters) before experiencing any considerable degradation.
