Hi all, this is my first post. Well here goes, I am gonna wire cable out the window of my room have it go along the roof and then into the window of another room. I cant find any outdoor spec cat5-e cable. and i am wondering what is the length limitation of cat-5e cable from the switch? I bought a siemens router/4port switch. I am excited that i will now be able to share my broadband between the two computers. Does the cable have to be Patch cable? what is the difference between patch and ?udp?(cant remember the name) cable? Thanks in advance.
