[QUOTE="Sheriton Swan, post: 147546, member: 1928"] Re: Cable Bit of a stab in the dark here. When used for Ethernet, CAT7 is better than CAT6 which is better than CAT5. Dead simple. However, AES50 isn't Ethernet. The way it uses each twisted pair isn't the same as Ethernet. AES50 uses separate pairs for clock and for data. The twist length (which affects capacitance and overall length) isn't the same for each individual pair within the overall cable and also varies between each CAT standard. I don't have any CAT7 in front of me but having just compared some CAT5 and CAT6 side by side, the twist length is much shorter in the 6 and differences between pairs looks more pronounced.
