name of cable from DSL modem to network card ?
Hi,
at home I have a DSL modem. Could someone please tell me how the cable is called which goes from there to the network card of the computer ? Reason to ask is that I want to buy a connection piece to make a longer cable out of two separate ones. Thanks ! Marcel |

The connection coupler you need would be a an 8-connection RJ45 outlet, which can sometimes be found amongst telephone equipment instead of networking equipment. Dave |

Also called a "patch" cable. ask is that I want to buy a connection piece to make a longer cable out of two separate ones ....may be cheaper (and definitely better signal) to just get one longer cable. They can be up to 300' long. -- "I don't cheat to survive. I cheat to LIVE!!" - Alceryes "kony" wrote in message ...
