Thanks for the heads up DK. I researched a bit and it definitely looks like the Cat6 is a better choice. I also commonly found it available in both shieled and unshielded, but the shielded pricing is pretty steep. What sux is I need more than 100'~ 33M but it's typically available in 100'~ 33M or 1000'~ 330M rolls, so I'm now lookin at havin the cables made up custom since I found a place tha

Just as an FYI, whining on here is a pretty futile pursuit. Anyone unhappy about the way things go here is certainly welcome to ply their wares elsewhere on the ol www. I've had stuff jerked here the same as many other ULers and I've never uttered a peep about it. Ain't my sandbox, I don't get to make the rules, so why should I bitch if my stuff gets thrown out from time to time? Ok, so .
