Which cable to use for socket extension
Hi,
I currently have a main socket coming in from outside into the front room downstairs. It is the one with the bottom half that comes off (nte5 or something?). I want to run an extension from that upstairs for dsl use. I also want to possibly run a phone extension further into the front room. If I get a face plate that has a phone socket and dsl socket, i believe that splits the signal at the source. Therefore I wouldn't need splitters round the house. Correct? Do I also take it that from the rear of this new plate i run a cable upstairs to the dsl socket and a cable into the front room for the phone socket? Or would each extension be used for both if necessary? Would I be better off just running a couple of normal extensions and using splitters? How do i test my line for noise and signal ratio (SNR and so on...)? My modem doesn't seem to have a diagnostics page that allows this. I want to know if I need CW1308 or Cat5 cable. So many question, sorry. Thanks Stu |
