Network cables......

[PapaLazaru]

I am getting interference and regular drop-outs from somewhere using powerline adaptors, so am going to install a cable from my router in the front bedroom to my man cave at the back of the house. I am going to go up through the attic and reckon I need a 30 metre cable.

Now I have never had to buy one before as have never needed to, so can anyone advise on what I should be looking for?

I've got fibre if it helps so need something that can take it and I do not mind paying a little extra for quality.

I would get Cat 6 then if you want fastest and best speeds. I don't think OCUK sells that a CAT 6 cable that long. Only thing about CAT 6 is it can be very inflexible so tight turns aren't always possible.

There are only a couple of turns in the setup so should be ok.

Just seen some Duronic Cat6a which has a lot of good reviews so might just get that one.

Thanks for the reply, but that is far too complex for me.

I've ordered 30 metres of Duronic Cat6a and am going to route it round the wall then drill up into the attic in a corner and use adhesive trunking to make it look a little nicer. Same at the other end in my man cave.
