Can I use a cat5 wire so I can run cat 5 wire from eye up and over in my attic to the cable box in another room? If so, which wires do I connect to re

Jaime, there are no female RJ 45 connectors (connector for cat 5 cable) on this unit. If you have some basic electrician skills, I guess you could extend one of the blaster or sensor cables with cat 5, but you might exceed the signal specs for wiring and your unit would be unreliable. Unless they sell extension cables for this, I would not do it.

You can run cat5 ethernet up to 300ft without signal loss. Any further you will need a signal repeater.

power is run thru cat 5 connection, but you may need power supply depending on length of cable

The CAT5 cable that connects to your computer/laptop must be connected to the powerline adapter "box" at that particular outlet (wherever you plugged it in). You can purchase additional adapters if you need a wired connection at other outlets throughout the house/apartment.

Cat5 on runs this long for this video with power will have signal loss, you need to be running Cat 6 or Cat 6E. Video signal is too great for a run that is this long. I installed this using baluns at a collision repair shop and the longest run was 150ft. I wouldn't push it much further than that unless you have a powered repeater.

yes you have to put your own ends on and use the straight through design connections the premade cables wont work. Put your own ends on i used the EX-RJ45 from amazon they allow you to push the wire out the end so you can double check position of color code wire . The main difference between 5 and 6 is wire size i have 8 cat5s it carries both power and sound but since i didn't use the sound on some it gave me an extra video connection I used the 2.5 power adapters to make a power tee connection this saved me from running extra cat5

The connection type is an RJ45 connector, Cat5, Cat 53, Cat6 all use RJ45 Connectors, the cable is your choice depending on your environment if you decide to run your own cable, Google the difference (honestly cat5 which is cheaper will be fine) unless you are running a new network throughout the house and have cat6 I wouldn't bother going with cat6.

I believe the only difference between CAT5 and CAT6 is the cable. The connector does plug on both sides so you don't have to wire it.

You can, but you won't have a Gigabit-rated cable if you do. (Disclaimer: though Cat5e is not Gigabit-rated, it's still more than capable of providing Gigabit speeds.) So, it's up to you.

Yes you can. If you still want to connect a computer to the cat5 cable be aware using this will drop the speed from 1gb to 100mb

In my configuration I'm running from a high speed cable modem to a 10/100 Mbps switch then to the ChannelMaster unit. But you pose an interesting question. I know that you can run Gigabit Ethernet over Coax. I do have a Gigabit switch that I can swap out for the 10/100. I will do that and see what speeds I end up with.

No. Cat5e/6/7 use more than one pair of wires for transmitting and receiving data, coax is only two conductors. This is a passive device and you would need a way to convert the signal from one form to another for it to work for internet over coax, which is usually called MoCA. Google 'MoCA' and you'll find a lot of info. Actiontec, TrendNet and other companies make these. You may also be able to use an Ethernet over Powerline device.

I think for computer to computer connections you need a cat5e "crossover" cable. This one is called a "patch" and is used for modem to computer connections. The wiring is different, so make sure you search for "crossover" cable. Amazon has a bunch of what you will need.

Not sure what you mean? You only need to run CAT5 wire for it. You need to place the base unit near a power outlet.

All of the ports on this switch are treated the same so it doesn't matter which port comes from your router or which port goes to your other devices, like workstations, etc. Does that answer your question or did you mean which type of wire: Cat 5 or Cat 6?

You will run your CAT5 with RJ45 connector from the EZ-Bridge Antenna to the Booster / Power supply provided by E-Z Bridge with your antennas and then plug it's RJ45 connecter into the Internet port on your repeater / router. May need to change IP address on your router. Just FYI :)

I ran monster speaker wire through it and this fit well. Don't really know what CAT5 is.....sorry.
