What ethernet cable is best for the BT Home Hub 2.0?.

Hi, for Ethernet up to 10 metres use standard Cat 5e cable, over 10 metres use solid core Cat 5e cable.

Stranded cable has several small gauge wires in each separate insulation sleeve. Stranded cable is more flexible, making it more suitable for shorter distances, such as patch cords.

Solid has one larger gauge wire in each sleeve. Solid cable has better electrical performance than stranded cable and is traditionally used for inside walls and through ceilings - any type of longer run of cable.

To connect the BT Home Hub to your computer up to 10 metres use (Cat 5e Patch Lead) any colour you like.

Sorry, but that's bad advice.

Do not use solid core cable for patch leads of any length, it's intended for structured cabling where the cables are installed and rarely, if ever, move once installed

Patch leads can and do move, get unplugged, etc. The stranded cable adds the crucial flexibility required to do this without breaking.

Hi, sorry, but the op has requested �What Ethernet cable is best for the BT Home Hub 2.0?�
We do not know over what distance, it could be 1metre or 100metres, the key word is Ethernet. I do not state use solid core cable for patch leads.
