Is this the right cable to allow me to move my computer to another room and connect it to my current cable router cat5 wall plug 35 ft. away?

Assuming you mean the 50 ft. cord, yes. Both your router and computer should have ethernet ports.

This is Cat5e cable so theoretically it should be able to hit gigabit speeds. If you know networking you know that theoretical speeds are just that normally (theoretical not practical). As a previous answer said this should be plenty fast for a home, and I should do well for most businesses (as long as the network run is not over 300ft). If you have something that needs gigabit speeds. I would recommend the normally unnecessary Cat6 cables. If you are looking for the difference in cable specs here is a good site talking about the differences. http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2013/04/ask-lh-whats-the-difference-between-cat5-cat5e-and-cat6-cables/ If I helped you upvote my answer.

I have also run more like 75' of cat5e cable and mine is working fine. I would trust the long cat5 cable more than the wireless link. Tech support's 10' comment was off-base.

Cat 5 means ethernet flat cable to hook up to internet and 25 feet is a long cable.

Cat5 and Cat6 cable is only considered reliable for 100m which is about 300ft plus 20 ft for patch cables. You will need to use an extender unit to boost the signal on both ends.

Well luckily for me both my router and the Xbox are within 6 feet of an outlet. I don't know why an additional 6 feet of CAT cable would make much of a difference. Just to be clear though this adapter is a 1 to 1 deal. You can plug it in to your router and then plug the other side into something that you would normally connect wirelessly.

Yes it is. Personally, I used to use this in my room to split my sole cat5 into multiple ones for my computer and gaming consoles.

Yes it would work if you ran a Cat 5 ethernet cable from your router to the 5 port switch and then attached your devices to the switch using some more ethernet cables. However, have you thought of getting a wifi extender instead to get the signal to your bedroom. I also have a Netgear Universal Range Extender and that works great to get a strong signal all over my house.

You're going to need a cat5 cable if for no other reason than to power up the unit, the cat5 cable acts like a power cord. It comes with a power injector to put the voltage into the cat5, so the cable should be long enough to reach an outlet. The advantage is that the Engenius doesn't have to be mounted close to an outlet. It comes with pipe clamps to strap the unit to a pole or fat conduit, so mounting is very easy.

Should work fine. My computer is on 2nd floor at opposite end of the house where the router is located.

It would be pretty really tight. i wouldn't reccomend it. You should probably use an hdmi over cat5/6 extender if you wanted to go through conduit.

I was told to use Cat&a; because you'll have more lenght (100m) but if I'm not wrong Cat6 "should maybe" works, if you don't know get Cat&a; because the price diffrence is not very high if you buy a bunch of cables.

I think it should work. I did use it as an ethernet jacl for my computer with comcast cable on the router in the 2nd floor.

I do not see any reason you couldn't use it. Cat 6 is just a higher speed cable because it has more twists. Cat 5&6 use the same rj45 connector. They also have the same amount of conductors.

So far I have tested several lengths up to and including 100 feet and it worked fine. The standard CAT5E length for Ethernet of 100 meters is slightly more than 300 feet. If the user wants to wait until Monday for an answer, I think I have a spool longer than that on which I can install ends and test. Meanwhile, I would suggest using a stronger new 9-volt dry cell.

Any standard Ethernet cable with a rj45 connector will work. You only need to worry about the cat number if the cable length is going to be very long.
