    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Remember to maintain the Cat status performance the minimum bend radius should be maintained

    I have been using CAT 7 because it is supposed to be better shielded , each wire in its own mylar jacket ,less cross talk and better RFI rejection .
    What I have found is early CAT 7 can be 27 awg and newer is 26 awg. as there is no regulation or cable standards for CAT 7 for the telecommunications industry and no official specs so buyer beware ,It is supposed to support up to 600mhz. Is it any better than your CAT 6A probably not and doesn't matter,it's fast enough for my sons gaming computer.

    CAT 8 coming soon!

    Shielding means diddly if it isn't properly referenced to ground!
    If it ain't properly referenced to ground it's called an aerial.
    It needs to be referenced to your CMET.

    What you need to create is a Faraday Shield, and without an appropriate ground connection you do not make one.

    Chris ,
    Sorry but shielding dose NOT have to be shunted to ground to be effective.
    Shielding can work with no connection to anything what so ever.
    I learned this in Armature radio years ago , and mylar can be very effective at rejecting RF .
    In fact so can a well placed Ferrite RF choke that is also ungrounded.
    In the case of mylar it simply reflects RF away from the signal wire, think of it as a physical barrier like a brick wall .

    If you look at the Cat6A and Cat7 spec, you'll see that it's an integral part of the spec.

    I am not saying it isn't grounded , I am just saying mylar can be used as a shield with no ground.

    I'd be much more concerned about the induced RFI from the SMPS that power network devices, to be honest.
