    do you need a patch cord or all new wiring?

    You can make a custom length cord very easily, or you can just buy a pre fabricated patch cord. If you buy one already fabbed at a custom length, just make sure you go with at least a cat5E (enhanced) cable or higher(cat 6 or higher) and not a regular cat5 cable.

    There is no difference really in as long as you are using cat5e or higher. Just make sure to check the package on the speeds it supports.
