I need to extend the length of some CAT5 cable coming out of a wall, so I'm going to get some couplers and add CAT6 cable to extend its length, though I'm not sure how long I will need yet so I may just buy some cables now without knowing the exact lengths needed.
1. Are there any reasons to connect CAT6 cable to the couplers that will be extending CAT5e cables? Will the CAT6 cables just run at CAT5e speeds since that is what they are connecting to?
2. Will having an extra 2-3 ft of extra slack make any different with performance? Does it slow it down in any way?
Thanks!
