[QUOTE="ludo, post: 37558, member: 691"] @AV Most seem to have a 45ns/100m skew. Belden Nanoskew, and a cable from Gepco has 2.2ns/100m, so it's not good for ethernet. An in-betweener from Belden (Brilliance Videotwist) does 10ns/100m, and is still suitable for ethernet. That indicates the worst case between any 2 pairs. So for less than 4 pairs one can get a good bit closer, but you have to check the specific cable. Batches are also not guaranteed to be the same. Do you also harbour unfounded suspicions AV? ;) At least you'll have a better shot at making something of the idea than me. ;D I'm not that sure it will make sense in the end, as any RF that gets into the cable is unmatched at (usually) both ends so it becomes impossible to predict the effect, if any, given that lengths vary too in practice, power is probably very low etc. @handsome I see the plenum varieties have FEP insulation. Thanks. I'll look out for some, as it should make nice hook-up wire too. Hardly likely that one will find it yes, but hey, stranger things happen. [/QUOTE]
