Ethereal recommends using a Shielded
Category 6 product along with shielded
RJ45 plugs to help eliminate EMI/RFI
interference problems.
Note: These suggested settings will vary
depending upon quality of category
cables. Example: 100 feet may only need
to be set at 10dB of gain or be stepped
up to 25dB of gain depending on quality
of cable.
