Great information! Thanks!

I have about 80' I need to run it, but I'm not finding much longer than 50' online so far. Will I need to use some sort of coupler to do this do you think?

>>How far can I run a network cable from my wireless router to a PC before I would see a reasonable degradation of the internet signal strength?

>The total length of twisted pair wire segments between a PC and a hub or between two PC's should not exceed 100 Meters (329 feet or about the length of a football field) for 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T cable runs. The maximum length for 1000BaseTX twisted pair is presently 82 feet.

>However, given those standards, keep in mind the things that may interfere or degradate the signal. For example, twisted pair carrying audio-visual signals should not be run within 1 foot of florescent lighting...

(I spent numerous hours re-running cable in small insurance agencies and other small businesses as a last resort in troubleshooting only to find out that the "guaranteed certified" cable and where it ran "by the guaranteed certified installers" really was the problem)
