Bob - Re: "The packaging on the CAT5e I ended up buying said it is good to 1000Mbps. If you do a search, most vendors claim it is good to that speed."

Thanks for the input.

Maybe I'll switch to CAT 5E for future cable purchases - in anticipation of the 1 Gig Ethernet that I'll "eventually" upgrade to.

Paul

Dear Robert:

Cat 5E is spec'd for 350MHz operation per pair (4 pair per cable, 2 each way). That's 700 million transitions per second per pair or 1.4 million per way. More than enough for a flat freq. resp. at 1G bits/sec xfer rate using simple NRZ encoding. Paul must read about communications before making errorneous statements.

Pete
