Hi.
My new myth box is currently dangling in mid-air between high tension network
and satellite cables. I'm thinking I really should replace the daisy chain
of hubs and extension cables.
First off, is it safe to chain lengths of RG-6?
I've got a run of about 5m into the house from the LNB (which seems difficult
to detach) that needs to go another 8m through a wall into another room.
Then I'm planning on running through a surge protector, then another 1m or so
into the card. Is this going to degrade the signal to much?
Assuming I can do that, where's a good place to get:
RG-6 cable
F connector gender changer
Screw on F connectors
Cat5E cable
8P8C (RJ45) plugs
8P8C crimper tool
Anybody have any favourite outlets? In Auckland if its walk-in only.
Thanks
Bob
