Use at least a Category 5 Ethernet cable. You may consider using Category 5e to accommodate future enhancements. Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors at each end is usually available in lengths up to 50 ft. If you need a longer cable, you must terminate the cable using a kit that can be purchased at an electronics, computer, or home supply store. If you feel unsure about installing Ethernet cable, contact a professional installer.

Run Ethernet cables behind walls whenever possible or secure them to floor baseboards and doorway frames. Do not use staples to secure Ethernet cable.

Leave enough slack in the cable to accommodate possible future repair splices or moving of equipment.
