Howdy,
The recent conversation helped me to finally understand why I want the
faster ethernet speeds between my servers and the switches.
Now I'm trying to understand the different terminology and what works
where when hooking it up.
There is
10Base-T
100Base-T
1000Base-T
and
Gigabit
Is Gigabit just another name for 1000Base-T?
and I looked at cables and there were cables for
Cat 5e
FastCat 5e
Cat 6
Cat 6 UTP
???
and
I am able to handle a screw driver - on a realy good day and would
prefer to get a cable that was already built over messing up. Should I
consider learning how to make cables?
Thanks,
Gary
