Given ethernet done using UTP (twisted pair) cable is allowed by the specifications to be 100 meters, I can't imagine a 50 foot cable will be any issue. And certainly there are flat cables made for people that want to be able to put them behind things. Some have nicer connectors than others, with rubber or other covers to protect the clip. Some people like those, some hate them (Some of them make the cable very hard to unplug. Good if you don't want it falling out or getting knocked, not good if you often need to plug and unplug a cable to do testing work). I hope your connection decides to stay working now. -- Len Sorensen --- Post to this mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
