Ethernet is, in fact, zeros and ones. What's important are that the end connections are tight. I don't know that the cable itself is super important as long as it's capable of not breaking down through twists and turns. When we talk about digital, think about a typed message. It doesn't matter much what kind of paper it's on, or what screen you read it on. As long as it's clear and legible, the message is the same. If, however, the connections are not secure, the components can retransmit the packets until the other end gets a good read. That retransmission takes time and can degrade performance, just like if the typed message is smudged or misspelled. Then you have to read it several times before you understand it. Ethernet is the same. Shielding can help reduce RMI interference. The wires themselves are twisted pairs to reduce interference. By the way, we don't talk much about the quality of the air when we talk about wireless or bluetooth. That's because, wi-fi and bluetooth are digital. Digital means that no matter how you get the message, it says the same thing.
Ethernet cables
Hello everybody!
I would like to have your opinions about Ethernet cables. I recently saw some silly expensive Ethernet cables! Do you think it is worth spending a huge amount for a cable which transfers data? Your thoughts please!
Thank you!
