Bending Cat6 Cable

[Sonic007]

I'm moving into a new house and the phone point is in the lounge. I'l have my router there but want to get Ethernet to the other side of the house.

 

We are talking about 30 metres max. Has anyone got any experience of the impact of bends in the cable. The biggest bend would probably be a few 90 degrees around corners.

 

 

Thankyou.

It's a case of it should be ok, but isn't technically within spec. I just wired my house with 5e, can't ever see me needed more than 1gig to each computer, not for a long time anyway!

The bend radius for cat6 is 4x the cable diameter. As long as you stay within this tolerance, you should be fine.
