Ethernet connection close to power cord
hey, you're at a great age for diving into networking! your idea of using Cat 6a through the roof and power outlets is smart since it avoids running cables everywhere. with a 240V power supply in Australia, running the Ethernet alongside your existing power lines shouldn't damage the signal—just make sure the wiring doesn’t overload the circuits. keep an eye on voltage levels and test the connection after setup to be safe. good luck!
It seems unclear. If you intend to run CAT 6 cable behind walls, power outlets aren't necessary unless you're powering devices in the space.
The presentation slides are ready, I considered placing the Cat 6 near the power cable and through the outlet.
It varies based on several elements. If the cable uses FTP, it won't work; otherwise, it relies on cable separation and powerline conditions. I feel confident connecting FTP Cat5e with 400V powerlines.
You might want to try a powerline adapter like the one shown here. This lets you utilize your existing electrical wiring for the network. It’s unclear how quickly data would transfer, but it could be simpler and more elegant than laying CAT6 cables throughout the house. Someone familiar with this setup could offer advice.
Honestly, I didn’t really consider it at first—I thought they were quite costly—but I’ve discovered some affordable options thanks to your suggestion.
Using the correct cabling offers the best results. If it’s simple to install, I’d choose that option. When opting for FTP cabling, make sure to ground the shielding; since it’s close to power with a likely ground, this should be manageable. The main issue is placing RJ45 connectors near the power connections for proper grounding—this can be challenging. Powerline provides the simplest approach, though its speed isn’t guaranteed. Just like WiFi, it’s wise to select high-speed adapters you can afford, as real-world performance often falls short of the label.
