Hi,
I ran around 25m of CAT5E external grade to my office shed. One end goes into the shed, the other into the house - and is then joined to a coupler to run the last few metres to the router (yes, i mismeasured by a few metres ... ops).
Anyway, I'm getting significant signal degradation - approx 50% or so.
I thought CAT5E was good for at least 25m or so (up to 100 without problems). Am I wrong? And if so, what's your advice?
This the cable in question: [url]http://snipurl.com/fp9mk[/url]
NB: Didn't use CAT6 as I needed something more flexible.
THanks!
