Ethernet Cable (again...)

Posted by: nickpeacock on 16 February 2017

A quick one:

New flat. I need a length of ethernet cable across the floor from one side of the sitting room (router) under a rug to the other (switch into NAS, NDX etc).

Cat 6? Other?

It'll need to be flat. Unless someone absolutely says not and explains why in noddy language (me being a bear of small brain).

Any other do's or don't's?

Is Cat6e the Yorkshire version?  Everyone else has Cat6a.

Poke all you like, Mike, I'm glad I discussed this with my carpet supplier and hope to be happy with my choice. 

  yeh but,     using my same room size costing comparison Axfelt 65 works out @ £255 vs £888 for the stuff in my post.  At that price it's obviously unworthy of achieving audiophool levels of underlay luxuriousness & you will be buying a broken sounding carpet.     

Haha, excellent!

You do realise the yarns for the wool layer are hand spun by east Devon maidens, none of whom are over 25?

(I have just realised this is a thread about ethernet wires....)

I thought the underlay was spun with finest quality ethernet cable yarn interspersed at the appropriate spacing with superlumina speaker cable fibres in a matrix of super sound absorbent nanofibres, in such a way that a push-in connector of the appropriate type can connect to ethernet or speaker cables anywhere in the room, its pins simply pushed through the carpet into the supercontacring self-orientating matrix beneath.
