Drill Bit For Running Ethernet Cable

Go to your garage and get your drill. Use a very small bit--up to you. Drill 2 holes about 5 or 6 mm apart close to the edge of the cap. Breakdown and spend 3 or 4 dollars for a lanyard (for sale here at B&H) thread it and your good to go! I've done this to every cap on every lens I own---it works!!

I'm not running cable TV through the system, just using it to get Ethernet to a hard to reach spot in the house. Works like a charm. Really like the coax indicator light, takes the guess work out of knowing if the system loop is complete. Great product.

This is the way to go if you want to expand the bandwidth of your home network without running ethernet cable, and IMO is far superior to powerline adapters. They are truly plug and play, and require no setup at all once correctly connected to your router. My home was built with coax running to each room. I bought the 2 pack of these adapters to get more bandwidth for media streaming to my TV, and I am getting close to the advertised gigabit speeds. Just make sure you also buy a MOCA POE filter or else your data will travel out of your house into the cable network ... they are cheap so buy one and save yourself the headache. Also, these are not compatible with satellite TV .. only cable.

Not much to say about an ethernet cable, except that it works.

I am currently using this for gigabit Ethernet. The cable works well, though the connector release is a bit on the stiff side. Note: 1Gb Ethernet doesn’t need Cat6a cables (Cat6 is perfectly appropriate; Cat5e is adequate but marginal), I just got Cat6a for future-proofing.

Short Ethernet cable that works.

Ethernet cable wet dream.

A Ethernet cable that works! And it was low cost.

We use these for our timeclocks that are not wifi but have an ethernet cable connection. Works well.

Work well. Needed to modify length a bit, and worked well. Had to cut and drill new holes with perfect outcome.
