Ethernet is the most popular cable for networking, surpassing older cabling technologies. Of the standards in Ethernet cabling, Cat 5e remains among the most widely used. Unfortunately, a reliable signal can be carried over Ethernet only a relatively short distance: 100 meters, or about 328 feet. Many times a home owner or office dweller finds it necessary to extend Cat 5 cabling beyond existing installations. Fortunately, this is a fairly simple procedure with the proper equipment.
