Cable w/ network card

Hi,

Nope. Network cards have places to plug in specific types of cable. Some network cards have more than one type of connector so its possible to use different cables that way...

Each cable has an individual connector type, so they simply dont plug into the wrong kind of network card.

Besides, the wiring of the cables is all diferent for each type. And the electrical properties of the cable is different too. Strange as it may seem, the same two pieces of wire fed down a cable can takeon completely different electrical properties simply by twisting them together.... Or wrapping them in a flexible metal shielding.

The cards are all sensitive to that, especially at the speeds they run these days.

Hope that helps,
Cheers,
Tim.
