@tracketpacer that’s well done. But be sure not to leave the cables unplugged for long to minimize the amount of bits that fall on the floor.

Also, I have heard that if you get a long etternet cable and coil it into loops, it’ll act like a particle accelerator for packets and the latency goes way down.

@jerry @tracketpacer We used to run a white-noise generator to jiggle the packets and keep them flowing.

@jerry @tracketpacer its like a hose so if you kink it for a bit the data will flow faster when you let go

@jerry @tracketpacer She's already gonna help me put ends on a 1000ft roll of cat8. My only concern is that my packets will be too fast.

@riskymanag3ment @tracketpacer I imagine you’ll have to get a special switch to handle packets that are moving that fast without incurring damage

@jerry
It's okay if they leak some as long as you have a bit bucket.

@jerry @tracketpacer so tight coiling like the old slot cars is better ?
