| 275429 | 2004-09-25 05:14:00 | Well there y'go. PF1 will always turn up an authoritative answer. I guess a long line star point could cause problems if unterminated, but I would have put money on daisy-chaining being worse. Maybe the velocity factor of Cat5 wiring is the problem. It is .74 which is midway between an average quality general purpose coax (.66) and a top quality low-loss (.88) I wonder if the current crop of communications hubs favoured by electricians are Telecom approved? It bears thinking about. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 275431 | 2004-09-25 06:03:00 | mmmm.......looking through the telepermit site seems to indicate that either is ok. tho i must admit a star wired system is far easier to configure for new services when (if) they come. | tweak'e (174) | ||
