Running Ethernet
Tools and Materials
As a bare minimum you'll need the following
- Cat 6 Ethernet Cable. I prefer 1000 ft of outdoor rated pure copper cable. Avoid CCA cables and shielded cables.
- I've had luck with premiertek_official on eBay.
- RJ45 Plugs. 100 pack
- Basic Cable Tester
- RJ45 Crimping Tool
- Wire Stripper
For a more professional install, get the following:
- Cat 7 Ethernet Cable for 10 gigabit or very long gigabit runs.
- Keystones Wall Plates Mounting Brackets
- A drill for outdoor runs.
- Duct Seal for filling holes.
