ethernet cables

Are all ethernet cables the same? I guess I kind of know the answer because I am finding out as I look this up that there are category 5 cables, category 6 cables, etc. Anyways, I had a computer in a seperate room from the modem and connected to it by two ethernet cables joined by a double female connector (neither cable was long enough to reach on it's own). My internet was very slow so I swapped the two shorter cables and the connector for a much longer cable that reach all the way on it's own. Anyways, I got much faster internet but got much worse EMF sensitivity symptoms while using the computer. Anyone have any idea what might be going on here? Thanks!

could be that you are just anxious about the change so your ES radar is
ramped up ? puk In a message dated 6/13/2013 5:21:31 A.M. Dateline Standard Time, [hidden email] writes: Are all ethernet cables the same?

No, I think the increased data rate causes additional symptoms. I found
this out myself when I upgraded my DSL from 1.5 Mbs to 7.0 Mbs.

Thanks Marc. That is what I suspected. So the next question is, why would the two cable setup with the connector have a slower speed/data rate than the single cord?

Are they different classifications of ethernet cables? (e.g. Cat 5 vs. Cat 6)
Is one of the cables damaged, perhaps? I'd be very interested if swapping out ethernet cables made any difference in symptoms. I can't claim to have much experience with that.

I can easily imagine that the connector degrades performance of the
connection...(ie more cross talk, more radiative losses, more susceptibility to interference from other sources) especially if the contact surfaces are dull, but to lesser extent regardless. You might even find that if you put an AM radio (tuned to static) near the computer you can hear the difference in connection speeds..

thanks puk. that is always a possibility. although in this case I think for whatever reason the longer cord was a problem. things got better when I switched back.

I have no idea what the different classifications are. Would it say on the cable itself?
I switched back to the two cable setup with the connector and that brought my symptoms back to normal. --- In [hidden email], Marc Martin <marc@...> wrote: > > Are they different classifications of ethernet cables?

yeah, my guess is that the the single long cable provided a stronger/faster signal than the two cable setup with the connector, possibly for the reasons you mention.
