Pre installed coax cable... but I need cat5!
Please could someone help me? I’m still learning about this stuff, but being broke am trying to avoid calling someone out.
I have a 30m coax cable running from a garden out-house to the front of the main property where its not currently connected to anything.
I want to get internet in the out-house so my plan was to pass the coax cable into the main property and connect the coax cable to the yellow LAN-out in back of (Vodafone) modem. This in theory will send internet to out-house. But its the wrong connection (BNC, not RJ45)
Confusingly, the outhouse has a cat6 wall box in which this coax cable is resting but obviously not attached as its the wrong box.
So - on either end I have cat5/6 connections (back of modem and garden outhouse) BUT i have a coax cable running between them.
I’ve seen simple, small adapters BNC -RJ45 but will these suffice? Any suggestions gratefully received!
Thanks
