Rick,
Thank you. I do understand the "Faraday skin effect." Still, I'm not
sure how this really matters. Electricity always travels on the outer
surface of any conductor. Rarely through the bulk/core of the conductor.
But, I will go read some more and check out your links.......... :)
Perhaps my 1970's RADAR training missed something.
Best,
Duncan

But, I still do chafe at the "solid-core" business.
Most of the cat5/6 cables I have looked at do NOT use "solid-core"
wire. I mostly see multiple-strand (tiny) copper wire.
I just looked this up recently on another list, in a different context.
That is called the a Faraday skin effect, (shield, cage, effect, etc...)

One site I was to had nice animated graphics of what happens.
