I'm thinking of running a cable through the wall between two rooms to carry a gigabit connection between my router and NAS.
Can I simply install two wall plates and connect them with an Ethernet patch cable with the plugs cut off, or do I need to buy an uprated cable? Common sense would say that I could as the router - NAS connection uses a standard Ethernet cable. But common sense doesn't always prevail...
Total distance between the the outlets would be less than 600mm.
