[SlimDevices: Touch] Ethernet Cable

2015-12-16 Thread 2string1

I'm sure it's been asked. Maybe even by me. I can't remember. Any
advantage to using a higher end ethernet cable to the Touch. Cat ? would
be the best?

Standard Cat5E is as far as you need go it supports all the bandwidth of
any normal home network.

This is an insane rip-off, can you believe there are SATA cables like
this also?!

I make sure to use UTP (unshielded) ethernet cables, to decouple the
grounds.

THATS NOT HOW THINGS WORK [/B]. THE ADVANTAGE IS PURELY ON THE SELLER
THEY GET YOUR MONEY 

LOOK AMONG NORMAL DATA CABLES FROM THE LIKES OF BELDEN (VIA FOR EXAMPLE
BLUE JEAN CABLE FOR SMALL QUANTITIES )  FOR WHOLE HOUSE WIRING . OR DO
SOME RESEARCH ON WHAT’S AVAILABLE LOCALLY : GET A TESTER IF YOU DIY YOUR
CABLES .

I ACTUALLY DON’T KNOW WHAT I HAVE , I HAVE WHAT WAS IN THE WALLS WHEN I
MOVED IN HERE , THE SHORTER PATCHES FROM SWITCHES ARE SOME NO NAME
PATCHCABLES BUT THEY ARE CAT6 OR CAT5E .

BUT THE MAXIMUM LENGTH IS 100M FOR CAT CABLES , IF YOU GOT LONGER PATHS
PUT  A SWITCH IN-BETWEEN . 

I HAVE A SWITCH AT THE ENDPIONTS OF MY NETWORK ONE IN THE OFFICE O,NE IN
THE WALK IN CLOSET WHERE MY ROUTER AND STUFF SITS AND ONE SWITCH IN THE
HIFI SETUP . TO SPLIT TO THE TOUCH AND THE SMART TV AND OTHER FUTURE
NETWORKED STUFF .

[B]HOW THINGS DO WORK .
