Because I learned one thing here already (Gigabit ethernet usually doesn't require crossover cables), I'll see if I can learn something else ;-) Back in the "good ole days" there used to be a minimum segment / cable length for an Ethernet cable--I don't recall to what all it applied--i.e., I don't recall if it applied to thick Ethernet, thin (coax) Ethernet, Cat 5 and Cat 6, all of the above or just some of the above. I always used a minimum of 6' and that worked for me. Does that apply for Gigabit Ethernet?
