But I would go for a Cat6 External Ethernet cable to future proof. I have two external Ethernet runs so my house is fully connected. I bought my kits from eBay where you will find plenty or of course Amazon with cable and wall boxes.</P> Mon, 23 Sep 2024 10:33:08 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Q/Data-cache-from-Sky-Q-box-to-Router/m-p/4763656#M667388 MightyQuinn 2024-09-23T10:33:08Z Re: Data cache from Sky Q box to Router https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Q/Data-cache-from-Sky-Q-box-to-Router/m-p/4763858#M667402 <P><a href="https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/43101">@Steve+the+Gooner</a>CAT 5 fine CAT 6 better, very small difference in cost.&nbsp; Key thing is get external rated cable or the UV will eventually degrade the jacket or there will be water that gets in.</P> Mon, 23 Sep 2024 12:18:23 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Q/Data-cache-from-Sky-Q-box-to-Router/m-p/4763858#M667402 bemak187 2024-09-23T12:18:23Z
