Some companies needed longer cables without having to add periodic boosters. Now they can do that. Many companies buy newer cable designs with a clear intention to upgrade to higher performance switches when available.
Though Arny appears to disagree/agree with me just for effect we have the same point: Cat5 was demonstrably perfect for use for your data transmission purpose, so cat6, or cat8 will both also be demonstrably perfect - so there is therefore no need to pay the higher price as it brings no benefit to your application. If it's the same price, knock yourself out... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ drmatt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59498 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106593 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
