Reply to comment by EtherCJ in can you run an ethernet cable through an empty conduit in your house on your own? by VanillianArt

A good quality cable can carry 1Gbps over some 80-100 meters. Splice it and you reduce the maximum significantly (as low as 20 meters before it slows down and maybe 40-50 meters before it fails completely)

I didn't even realize you could splice cat6

In my house everything is twisted pair (up to the GPON). I've seen some splicing done because we wouldn't redo the wiring, and it was fine (15 meters or so, 100Mbps). Now I have proper unspliced Gigabit links.

You can splice basically any cable. The splice WILL negatively affect the signal so it's a game of whether you can afford that
