Hi guys/gals,
I found a coil of CAT5 (blue) Ethernet cable.  I think it's about 100'.
Same experiment as before using the blue and blue/white twisted pair.

BTW.  Neither of these tests show how the cable will behave with multiple nodes on various length stubs nor common mode ground bounce.  But it's a starting point.

Am wondering what the results were / what conclusion you came to with regard of using Ethernet type cable?  
(And was it CAT-5, or something else???)
