 I would be very reluctant to try soldering Cat 5 cable.  Suggestion:  If it is Cat 5, put
 a plug on the end of the existing cable, get a coupler (make sure it's straight-
 through, not a crossover) and add a new fifteen meter cable.  Be sure you don't
 exeed the maximum length for Cat 5.

 I would use a switch instead of a hub if there will be much activity on the network.
