Cisco network cable - 5 m

Advantages: Cheap, instalation, WPA
Disadvantages: Plastic, some config settings, Reliablity

...In the depths of London I had a problem, that being I have one DSL line and three computers all stand alone so the options open to me were either CAT 5 my home or try this new fangled magical technology called Wireless… And so it began.

Category 5 Cable also uses either 22 or 24 AWG unshielded twisted-pair wire and impedance of 100ohms. It connects with RJ45 connectors (avaiable cheaply) RJ-45 connectors look a bit like a standard phone connector but are twice as wide (with eight wires). RJ-45s are used for hooking up computers to local area Networks (LANs) or for phones with lots of lines.... Read review
