Because I learned one thing here already (Gigabit ethernet usually doesn't
require crossover cables), I'll see if I can learn something else ;-)
Back in the "good ole days" there used to be a minimum segment / cable length
for an Ethernet cable--I don't recall to what all it applied--i.e., I don't
recall if it applied to thick Ethernet, thin (coax) Ethernet, Cat 5 and Cat 6,
all of the above or just some of the above. I always used a minimum of 6' and
that worked for me.
Does that apply for Gigabit Ethernet?
