: Speaking about ethernet performance, doesn't the quality of cable
:affect it too? I noticed that there are cables that are 350Mhz and higher
:over the standard CAT5 100Mhz cables. Has anyone used the higher
:frequency cables and gotten any better results? And generally for CAT5
:cable, is there a difference in quality between BerkTek and Belden?

10BaseT is 10BaseT, as long as it is in spec it is not going to perform
any better or worse based on the quality of the cable. So if standard
Cat5 cable works for you, getting a higher grade cable is not going
to make it work better. Same with 100BaseT and 1000BaseT.
