I’m getting ready to install networking in my new home and really prefer not to rely on WiFi. Sometimes I feel a bit guilty about it. Should I use FTP with CAT6 instead of UTP? Since the cables will go outside the walls and there’s no easy access near power lines, only a short distance—about 3 to 5 meters—I’ll run two cables side by side. I plan to connect two computers and a TV via a Freena network device, totaling roughly 40 to 50 meters of cable. I’m also thinking about using modular plugs. I see CAT6 plugs for UTP cables, but does that really matter?

When there are no nearby power lines and you don’t have a bunch of cables close together, UTP cable works well. The connectors don’t need special treatment because you can easily remove the outer covering to see the colored wires.
