Has anyone had experience using a KVM setup (at least one HDMI and two USB
ports) and using cat 5/6/7 between user and the computer? I don’t need to
handle multiple computers or high-def video movies, just programming and
office work. I need a bit more distance from my computer which must stay in

That's what I figured. But I figured if the NIC could give raw access
to the line then maybe something could be done in software.

There are cable testing equipment available, for measuring parameters
such as attenuation, crosstalk and others. Can two Debian (or
Debian-derived distros) be used to test cables in lieu or expensive
testing equipment? I have several cat5 cables that have been twisted,
bent, stepped on, dragged, ro

Actually, that is probably why they are called UTP -> Unshielded Twisted
Pair. The tight twisting of the two pairs in CAT 5 cabling is what
The most common mistake is that pairs are reversed when punched down on
the connector. If you can get past that, you can probably find bad cable
using your computer
Isn't it funny how so few of these cables are shielded?
Shielded cables, grounded only at one end (to prevent ground loops),
would be
If the cable is CAT5 certified, you don't need a cable testers
installing a fast ethernet cables, though it won't harm if you have a
tester handy.

???!!!
That's like asking "should I make sure the guy who cuts my hair passed the
course?" i.e. does it really matter? Guess it depends on the haircut
you want ;-)
My opinio
should CAT 5 cable testers be considered a necessity when installing
fast ethernet cables?
