Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Is Transporter compatible with CAT6 cabling?
Cat5e is capable of gigabit. I would say cat5 on 50m or less would be very capable of gigabit depending on your hardware. It is now unlikely cat6 will ever have consumer applications that cat5e wasn't capable of. Cat6a and cat7 is for 10gig which is still many years away from consumer level when it is likely cat6a and cat7 wont be how 10gig or higher speeds are delivered to PCs. I dunno, if it doesn't cost any more then sure get it. But if it does cost more perhaps you should consider if paying more for something is really giving value for money. -- bits bits's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13375 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86292 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

You could also connect the cable to a switch and the Transporter to the switch, thereby allowing you to exploit the additional speed on for other applications e.g. moving data across the network. -- audiomuze *'Linux finally gets a great audio tagger' (http://www.ubuntugeek.com/linux-finally-gets-a-great-audio-tagger.html): 'puddletag' (http://puddletag.sourceforge.net/)* audiomuze's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33613 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86292 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Is Transporter compatible with CAT6 cabling?
I used Cat6 and I set up a gigabit network, including the router and switches. Not because I need that for the SB players, including my Transporter, but when I rewired my new home (well its a very old home, but new to me), it was a rounding error difference in all the work to use CAT6 vs CAT5e. And the faster speed is really more about the future vs what I currently have. Not sure if the gigabit/CAT6 is helping me with video streaming (netflix, etc.), but it can't hurt. -- garym garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86292 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Is Transporter compatible with CAT6 cabling?
Spent the afternoon installing CAT6 cable running from music room to study (Music server). My WAP works using either of the two cable runs I've connected, however, my Transporter tells me there's no ethernet link. I'm guessing it doesn't support CAT6, right? -- audiomuze *'Linux finally gets a great audio tagger' (http://www.ubuntugeek.com/linux-finally-gets-a-great-audio-tagger.html): 'puddletag' (http://puddletag.sourceforge.net/)* audiomuze's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33613 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86292 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Is Transporter compatible with CAT6 cabling?
I don't have a Transporter to test, but I'm pretty sure that anything that works with cat5 or cat5e should work with cat6. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86292 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

Problem solved - I hadn't seated the connector properly when plugging into Transporter.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Is Transporter compatible with CAT6 cabling?
I have a 25ft run of cat7. Works great. The only difference between the old cat5 and cat6 and 7 is the shielding. Greater bandwidth is possible with the better shielding. Not needed with the audio files we are working with. Why not do it though!

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Is Transporter compatible with CAT6 cabling?
F**k - Cat6e is a pain in the nuts to strip back and terminate. Now there's all that additional foil screen to deal with - that's gonna cost in installation time, and no-one's gonna be prepared to pay for the extra work involved ! -- Stratmangler There is no element of personal attack in my response.
