Network Cable for Live

Frankieboy · 2008-06-03 10:01:23

I was just wondering if a standard, of the shelf, Cat 5 cable will work for hooking up to Live? If not, can I buy a longer cable somewhere? Thanks

That's what i use anyway (from xbox to router) computer shops usually do cables to measure, my 20 metre one was €12!

20m for €12 that's pretty good. Won't need it that long but that's a decent price. Does the longer cable not affect the signal strength?

Only if you're approaching 100m worth of cable...
