[QUOTE="Rob Spence, post: 83133, member: 80"] Re: abusing Cat5 and what to expect.... High speed digital data is what travels over Cat 5 (or 5e or 6). The difference between the variations are subtle (to the naked eye) changes in the twist patterns of each of the pairs and the relationships between each of the pairs. These changes were made to permit higher speed data. If you disrupt these relationships, you may get data errors. In the digital audio world, data errors sound really bad. Don't abuse digital cables!! Just because there is still electrical continuity, it doesn't mean it will support the required data rate with an acceptable error rate. With computers, you may not notice the errors as the protocols are designed to detect the errors and request a resend of the data. This happens fast enough that a person may not notice. In digital audio it is real time and no resend is possible, so, the data is lost and you hear a bad noise. Sent from my iPad HD [/QUOTE]
