I was wondering if there is some device where i can connect two ethernet cords together. I can't seem to find a 50 ft one and only see like 25ft. If there is such a device what is the item called.

If you're good at making things you can just strip down the ends of both cords and attach them to each other.

I'm sure their is a device like that at the local RasioShak tho.

I bet a switchboard would work that way Robbie.  That's kinda what we did at gamers for giving.

I think they are called Ethernet CATs. They will join two cables together. However, i would probably just splice the two cables together myself with some electrical tape... if it isn't temp.

You can probably get some custom made from an electronics store, or by yourself a little quick kit.

Otherwise order online as its super cheap, I got loads of it cheap once as I need it. wooooo.

They are called ethernet couplers.
