Consider that a Cat5 has 4 pairs, each w/ different signals, and they don't have problems due to the architecture i.e., the twist in the pairs along with the opposing current creates a net 0 EM field, therefore no inducted voltage in another pair.<BR/><BR/>I also agree w/ Scott, I hate zip ties, although if I have to use them, I twist them off, which creates a smooth end. I hate them more due to the disposable nature of them...Matthewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13951013253935278269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-52761217954814462852008-09-18T21:06:00.000-07:002008-09-18T21:06:00.000-07:00That picture of the vintage wiring is almost artistic. :o)StripeyUnderpantshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09062863555965835644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-45467205602594319422008-08-19T00:36:00.000-07:002008-08-19T00:36:00.000-07:00Haha, some are real funny.

Use only on a permanent installation, and it's rare any wiring is going to be permanent.<BR/><BR/>For most applications I use velcro ties, they're a bit more expensive than zip ties, but you only have to buy them once. Write them off as a business expense. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-33432226640533253672008-08-18T08:40:00.000-07:002008-08-18T08:40:00.000-07:00Wow James - interesting point, I was not aware of this (although I had my share of tackling crazy wiring)Avi Abramshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12550929795356812957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-49227241160484702502008-08-18T07:36:00.000-07:002008-08-18T07:36:00.000-07:00The ones that are messed up are called job security.

Proper structured cabling should not be perfectly parallel, combed, straight cables. Such an arrangement promotes crosstalk and impedes signals. cable bundles should be slightly lose, and allowed to weave a bit. They may look messy, but you'll have a significantly cleaner signal on your network.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Holy crap, did i actually LEARN something from my Data Communications course? oOJamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-53168639659456415702008-08-18T05:49:00.000-07:002008-08-18T05:49:00.000-07:00ok, that credit card one was obviously done for effect. the card still has the "I am not yet activated" sticker on it.

Zip ties are the bane of the industry. Too many twits yank down on them and kink the cables! Then every one and their mother wants to cut off the end of them, which turns them into little plastic razors! I can't even tell you how many scars I have from those things. Good god man.
