extend cat5e without re-running new cables?
Howdy folks -
I'm adding on to my home and I decided it would "be a good thing" to wire the house for ethernet - 1 jack in bedroom for the laptop, a jack for the PS2, and a couple of "future use" jacks scattered about the house - this is more for sharing my DSL connection than doing networking-type stuff - although I do want that option open to me. I ran the wire to the current location of the computer desk and left enough slack to run the wire down the wall.
OK - now the challenge - my wife has decided to move the computer desk ~ 20ft a way from its current spot - I really can't argue because it will be in a much nicer spot, but now I have several runs of cat5e that are nowhere near long enough.
So...what are my options? I know I could put connectors on the cables and run another set to the new location - but is there another/better way to do this?
Thanks in Advance!
Jeff
