Boys I’m very proud of myself. My house had these telephone lines that I re-headed as ethernet. Works really well and now I don’t need to tear down any walls. It’s obviously vulnerable to interference but that apparently is not a problem because I’m using it right now.
>>2413118You put EJ45 jacks on a cat5 cable? Thats not exactly that hard.
>>2413118Partially pictured: I put up a piece of plywood and screwed some shelf rails to it. The shelves themselves are held on with 3M tape bc I didn’t have the right length of screws, but it seems okay. The modem, router, and switch are sitting here. I can’t wait for the Internet guy to see this setup tomorrow (upgrading my service).
>>2413120Yeah it wasn’t hard, the happiness comes primarily from not having to open walls and run new 6A.
>>2413118>telephone linesthat's cat5it's four twisted pairsit's basically made for ethernetand you don't pull the jacket back like thatit gets pinched by the clamp when you crimp it
>>2413132>you don't pull the jacket back like that>it gets pinched by the clamp when you crimp itI know thanks. The reason it’s pulled back so far is that I overestimated how much wire I needed to poke it through the head effectively. It was my first time trying this.
>>2413120that picture shows cat III cable.it will work but I doubt he is getting gigabit speeds.
>>2413118dont be a pussy op. post iperf/jperf test.
>>2413118those arn't fucking telephone lines you cuck
>>2413118imagine limiting your speeds and introducing interference because you're using old junk cable
I hate cables buried in walls. I always run new cables suspended from the ceiling with cup hooks
>>2413118>>2413122youre a retard if you think that you have to rip down walls to run a wire. also the sheathing is supposed to terminate in the connector.
>>2413456Pfft fuck that, across the floor and held down with gaffa tape is the only way. Yes it does fit under the door.
>>2413461>youre a retard>the sheathing is supposed to terminate in the connector.this
>>2413293if all 4 pairs are crimped and it's a short run you will get gigabit, done it hundreds of times>WISP guy
