Which flat CAT cable for short distance.
I'm considering running a flat ethernet cable from one side of my living room to the other to feed my Playstation 5 and TV.
What type is recommended, it needs to be pretty flat and not restricted in speed for my purposes and if I want to plug more than 1 device into it what small device is suitable and cheap? |

Just get a cheap gigabit switch if you want to connect more than 1 device at a time and throw any decent flat cat6 cable at it

This should do it for the cable

Thanks guys, that's the sort of cable I was looking at but won't need very long and was looking at a 5port switch from TP link from £10ish.
Does the switch need mains power? |

Will something like this be suitable for me to throw behind the TV and PS5, I only need 2-3 connections and it's likely alot closes than 10metres?

Re: Which flat CAT cable for short distance.
Well I've ordered the TP-link Jaymoss has and a few cables, not sure why but I went for 3 cat7 cables of various lengths to connect everything up.

No idea if it makes any difference to usage but if I give cloud gaming a go via the new telly it must be better. |
