However |if you're going by the specs, 100M is the max between some |sort of device. Whether it's a repeater, a hub or something. | |Many of use have done networks where we've used CAT5 much |longer then 100M for whatever reason, and have had no problem. | |But, for those of you who have gone through MCSE or Cisco, or |any network training, they say the spec is 100M, for |performance. The instructor will also tell you after you've |learned the spec, and passed the test, forget the spec! In |the real world, you do what works. More then 100M of CAT5, |works. I think many of us can attest to that. tdh |
