Post by: timekeeper on March 21, 2009, 08:04:02 AM

What i wood two in the router is two see what patch cable are beeing used and what speed mbs up and down.
Has any body tried out network cable cat7
Category 7 is the next generation of networking. These network cables transmit data at a blazing speed of 600MHz for distance up to 100 meters. Shielding is added to every individual wire pairs and the cable as a whole to ensure the strictest NEXT and SRL performance are met. A must-have for applications running 10 gigabit Ethernet. It was designed for gigabit network adapters, hubs, switches, routers, DSL/Cable modems,patch panels and other twisted-pair applications.

However, the DGL-4500 routers only support *Gigabit* Ethernet, not 10 Gbit - so would Cat7 even be worth the effort here?
