Hi,
Seeing these results, i wonder what one can expect with gigabit-network. Is it worthwhile the costs, as i seem to remember that the bandwith drops quickly with cable-length (cat-6)...
Bandwidth does not decrease with cable length. Attenuation and noise do increase with length, which will eventually cause an unusable signal. Gigabit ethernet is designed to provide 1 Gb/s over a 100 M distance. Go much beyond that, and the error rate will rise with distance.
