what cable should i use to make a 40' run and not have alot of loss?

also any other tips would be nice too.
all of this will be in-wall setups

it's digital with a fuck load of redundancy, any cat5, cat5e, or cat6 should work

cat5e/cat6

most ethernet cable is good for 300ft before data loss

^^you're not gonna want to use cat5 for gigabit

^correct, dunno why I typed cat5 in there. there's also cat7 too but it's like 802.11n.. no one really adopted it yet

5e will work for 40', cat6 is obviously preferable tho

fuck load of redundancy?

more like i got the equipment donated and luckily a 1000' spool of cat 6 is available too thanks guys and it just so happens everything supports it and if i'm going to run network lines why run something that will need to be re- run in a few years when tech changes

jesus, just delete my post. I think I had cable on the brain. at any rate, it wasn't anything applicable or helpful
