Mike & i recently tested 295 ft of uncoiled CAT6 for science TL;DR - the heat caused both coiled & uncoiled tests with the same cable to fail CAT6, but otherwise the results between them were so close we came to the conclusion that coiled vs uncoiled makes very little difference in performance 馃憤馃徏

how hot is too hot for cat6?

I have a 60ft CAT6 cable and I thought that was too long. :O

It would be interesting to determine if coiled and uncoiled fail CAT6 at different lengths.

I love your collabs. So much stuff is going in at the other end of this field and people just forget where network communication starts. Please much much more of that!

What's up with the "Cable is too long" message?

I did not know that human-tolerable heat could affect CAT6 cables. What's the mechanism at play there?
