Back in the "good ole days" there used to be a minimum segment / cable length
for an Ethernet cable--I don't recall to what all it applied--i.e., I don't
recall if it applied to thick Ethernet, thin (coax) Ethernet, Cat 5 and Cat 6,
all of the above or just some of the above. I always used a minimum of 6' and
that worked for me.
Does that apply for Gigabit Ethernet?
I believe that only applied to the older 10Base2 (thinnet) type networks
that used coaxial cables instead of twisted pair wiring. I do not recall
the minimum length either.
