Does anyone have a recommendation for a high quality CAT6 shielded Ethernet
cable (bulk)?
I’d appreciate any input. Comments on connectors would be welcome also. I’m new
to making up my own cables and looking for a more reliable source of cables for around the
shack.
Building your own Ethernet cable is not a simple matter, and requires a
special crimper. Ethernet cable is four twisted pairs, each twisted at a
different rate to minimize crosstalk. The pairs must be maintained
end-to-end at specific pins, so that each of the four circuits is a
twisted pair.
If I decided I needed shielded CAT cables, I'd buy them from a vendor I
trusted. I'm using only one Ethernet cable, between cable modem and WiFi
router. WiFi does everything else. It's a great solution to eliminate
another source of RFI.
