[QUOTE="Bob Harvey, post: 74267, member: 2052"] Cat5 vs. Cat6 for S16 ? Any reason to not use Cat6 for the S16 ? I'm looking at the Eurocable multi-signal cable products available from Link. [URL]http://linkusa-inc.com/DesktopModules/Bring2mind/DMX/Download.aspx?TabId=96&Command=Core_Download&EntryId=52&language=en-US&PortalId=0[/URL] The LKSPKAL 12/3 U2A2 is appealing since it contains both power and Cat5 plus a pair that could be used for DMX. However, having the 12/3 power also increases bulk. I plan on needing no more than 50 meters ... so that's about a ±3 volt drop over the 12/3 power cable. The LK2Cat6 AD2 is similar but with Cat6 and no power ... somewhat lighter. Suggestions ... ? Thanks [/QUOTE]
