Hmmmm... it also seems to tranfers at a Gigahert as well http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/smile.gif

Yes there is a new ethernet standard out, for Gigahertz speeds. Until now, I had assumed that fibre was the only way to get upto that kind of speed. Obviously not.

Assasin and pb, I am sure you meant to say Gigabit speeds, and not gigahertz.

Yes , you can use enhanced cat5 cable along with standard cat5. It is just better cable.
