Ethernet Wiring


I prefer to use a hard connection as opposed to using Wi-Fi. Our basement is finished off, so my only access point requires me to run the Ethernet cable through approximately 25' of HVAC ducts. Is this okay? The cable would be inserted into the duct about 15' away from the furnace plenum. Thank you.

It should be fine, and the duct might provide shielding. 😀 That said, I have switched to using a TP-Link extender with a Stack Audio Smoothlan inserted before my Innuos streamer. This actually sounds better than the 30’ Blue Jeans cable, in my system.

@boulder_bob I have no doubts that the TP-Link is probably a bit noisy, but my house likely has several other devices that are just as bad. I spent last year working on my power and tried Furman, Puritan, but then settled on a PS Audio P15 regenerator. That pretty much fixed everything, Sunday night sound all the time now.
