    Hello!

    Is there any way to connect two ethernet cables together to make one cable? I`m interested in all possible ways. Thanks for the answer.

    Great, that`s what I meant. Thank you very much. Now I just need to find a color scheme and I`ll be good to go. ;)

    Such a grommet will physically connect, but it does not maintain the category (5 or 6 for LAN), and therefore may slow down the network on longer cables. These are vias for other communication devices where there are no such transfers as a 100/1000 network

    If you`re stubborn, you can also connect it manually and it will work too :)

    make sure that the total length of the cables does not exceed 100 (the stubborn 110 meters)

    Total length 100m, but for the medium holding the categories.
    - Max 100m category 5, 6
    - For power cables where the current does not exceed 20A
    - Pair separation at the plug not <= 0.5 inch
    Such a via is an ordinary connection of wires with unknown transmission parameters.

    Of course, it will also work at several meters. Also in the 100m. However, such a transmission may be "jerky" and it will not be 100Mb/s, not to mention gigabit.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around methods to connect two Ethernet cables to extend network reach. Users suggest using RJ-45 plug connectors for a physical connection, while cautioning that such connections may not maintain the required category standards (e.g., Cat 5 or Cat 6), potentially leading to reduced network performance over longer distances. It is emphasized that the total length of the combined cables should not exceed 100 meters to ensure optimal performance. Manual connections are also mentioned as a viable option, though they may result in suboptimal transmission speeds. The importance of maintaining proper wire separation and adhering to electrical standards is highlighted to avoid issues with data transmission.
