Network Cable

[Chimpie]

My brother wants to run some network cable from one side of the house to the other. Is this what he needs:

From Newegg

 

[Lifted]

Yup. He'll also need a crimper and Cat6 RJ45 Plugs.

Or a punchdown tool and wall plates if he's going that route.

What length does he need? Is there a reason you want 1000' of it?

 

[Chimpie]

No, it was just the first thing I found. Was asking a question and doing my own research at the same time. *multitasking* woo hoo

He probably needs a couple hundred feet at most but I can't seem to find anything that short (after doing a brief search).

Home Depot sells Ethernet cable by the foot. They'll cut a length off a reel for you.

Be aware that faster ethernet connections are limited to about 100m in length. If it happens to run over that you'll need a repeater. I know that your length falls within that, but I also know that network designs often don't survive contact with the real world.

Yes - As Fresh Daemon stated make sure you keep below that 100m per line if you do not have a repeater.
