I rember Howie was dealing with this a while back…

Well, we have a 1foot cat6 cable and throughput seems to be a-ok, so…

3

it’s 3 feet… but that’s only a guideline…

4

Yeah, I dunno, works ok, so i don’t wonder…

5

I just used less then a foot and it seems to be fine.

<—wasn’t aware there was a min length for them

7

There isnt really a minimum, i have one in my network tool box and its no more than 5" and works fine.

8

it will work fine… but if u get down to the nitty gritty high tech cable testing… it’s not giving the performance it should… otherwise u’ll never tell the difference

9

Just out of curiosity, any source to back that up?

I know the reason there is supposed to be a minimum lenth is cancelation.
