[KingDreyer]

I have a pc that doesnt have wifi and requires ethernet, i have a cable nearby but it’s not long enough. how much will a double female adapter slow down speeds

Why not replace the cable with a new longer one? Also, extensions should barely slow down your wifi, based off personal experience.

It won’t have any affect. No issue at all.

As long as you have a decent cable, Ethernet is good up to 100m or 328 feet end to end. Thats according to the official standard. So extending it as long as it within that length shouldn't be any issue.

Technically every connector will reduce that length as there are losses in the plugs and sockets, by how much may depend on the quality of the connector.

 

Just don't get the cheapest, I have a load of cheap ones from eBay that don't hold the plug in properly so will disconnect (but look fine) unless I cable tie both cables so they do not come loose.
