Well, it does make a difference. With Ethernet, the faster the
transfer rate, the more twists you must have in the cable (per foot)
to minimize crosstalk. That is why you have different grades of
Ethernet cable (5, 5E 6). And length is a factor as
well. Typically, (but not always), higher data rates dictate
shorter distances with a given technology. The problem is that the
digital '1' and digital '0' do not travel at the same speed though
the wire... over short distances it's not an issue, but over longer
distances, or at higher frequencies, a '1 bit can catch up with the
'0' ahead of it, thus corrupting both. Using higher quality cables
(less resistance) can obtain for you a little more distance.
Is this the 1st of April? I really need a reality check with this "1" bit
catching up to a "0" bit.
