[QUOTE="Craig Hauber, post: 97697, member: 272"] Re: Heavy duty CAT5e/Ethernet cable You won't get enough expansion/contraction in the cross-section to make a difference. Use cat-6 ends, they'll accomodate the larger diameter strands and still provide proper contact. (as verified by a SignalTek load tester) Sometimes the larger opening for the jacketed cable doesn't tighten enough on some cat-5, but since it's going in an ethercon it really doesn't matter (as mentioned previously) [/QUOTE]
