Chee, I've never heard of anything like that. YOu do have to be carefull with fiber though. I've got 10baset cables that are less than a foot and 100baset cables that are 10. I think there is a restriction (51.2 bittimes) for fast ethernet on the long end but nothing stated as to how short it can be.
