The issue is more of noise rejection than it is resistance. Ethernet cable is not shielded (to save money on long cable runs), instead using twisting to neutralize outside noise and internal crosstalk. Since USB cables are shielded the issue of twists per foot is not as important. Resistance at high data rates is not much of an issue. Inductance may be more of a factor. But for short cable lengths, I don't think so. I think getting me to pay more for a "monster" USB cable would be a hard sell. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
