This is most likely a stupid question so I apologize in advance.
I recently moved my desktop PC into my basement. It's prior location made it impossible for me to hook up my 360 and PS3 directly into the router I use. Now that it's in my finished basement, I can get away with running ethernet cables up the corner of a wall and across a drop ceiling and then snaking them up a wall so that I can have a wired connection on the consoles.
I'm assuming it won't, but would 50' of cable lose signal strenth at all? Also, does quality of cable mean anything? I know with HDMI it doesn't matter, but does it matter with ethernet?
