Re: ethernet cable type

A cable tester is probably a good investment even if you don't make your own cables, especially for the kind of "mission critical" environment our cables will often see.

If you don't have a crimper to make/fix cables, then plan to keep a few spares, and if a cable starts acting up (and you can confirm the cable is bad), toss it in the garbage.
