A:AnswerMy recommendation is getting one of those floor cord covers. Best Buy carries Unique Bargains brand, which are a bit pricey, but do offer a good mix of colors and sizes. If you are on a budget for this item, then shoping Amazon, Home Depot or Lowes is your best option. My floor in grey so matching it was easy.
A:AnswerLong as the printer in the modem have the same fitting that will fit this cable then yes. You will need to check the specifics on both products to make sure this is the correct cable to use.
A:AnswerPersonally, the cable feels and looks very thick, with some sort of rubber coating on it, as most ethernet cables get really brittle, which actually warranted me purchasing this.
A:AnswerThe CAT versions are set by the IEEE organization. You might see manufacturing defects but in many years of working in the computer industry, I have not run into a factory made cable that failed to pass signal as intended.
Because copper wires can receive interference from electric wires and light fixtures, there are rules in which it should be run. If running along the side of 110/115v, it should be 1 foot away. If crossing 110/115v then you want to do so at 90 degrees. Florescent lights also cause interference.
The quality of your equipment can also determine the speed as does the length of the run. It does no good to buy a CAT 6 cable if any of your gear is rated at 100MB.
