Simple Q, cat5e instead of cat6 When using for electrical wires in Darwin.... any problem using cat5e instead of cat6? I expect it doesn't matter, but wanted to be certain before it is assembled.

I ended up using:
- leftover speaker wire for the 12V power lines
- twisted pairs pulled from an old VGA cable for the serial lines
- the unused wires clipped from the stepper motors for the heater and gear motor
Seems to work OK.]]> degroof Reprappers Fri, 16 Nov 2007 20:10:25 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,6310,6310#msg-6310 Simple Q, cat5e instead of cat6 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,6310,6310#msg-6310
