Yes, plenty speed all around EXCEPT pc to pc transfers. Still don't get why the speeds won't come close to matching the HDD's capabilities, since most of my drives are NAS or Enterprise drives. Even SSD to SSD from pc to pc. What's the bottleneck in this case?
You are at the max speed for your network connection. 110MBps = 880Mbps (upper/lower case B matters, use the calculator link I provided)
Thanks. I understand the difference between megabytes per second and megabits per second.
I had to look up RG 6, we don't have that standard in the UK. Our equivalents are CT100, FT100 or WF100 depending on what you want.
I’m depending on a memory that’s pretty much stuffed with song lyrics, but as I recall, RG58 was the 75 Ohm standard when I was a kid. There was Rg 59, which was 52 ohms. Maybe that’s backwards. A lot of amateur radio operators used RG8 for theit kilowatt transmitters.
Just so you know... It is possible to purchase RG-6 cable in the UK, indeed Screwfix sells it in both black and white. They also sell something called GT-100
Yes, of course you can. RG6 is bog standard 75 Ohm coax. You can buy it anywhere for about 40p/metre.Just so you know... It is possible to purchase RG-6 cable in the UK, indeed Screwfix sells it in both black and white. They also sell something called GT-100
How odd... I've had no issues at all with my optical fibre service (supplied by BT). The really old unused overhead two wire cable was removed to my house and the new optical fibre cable pulled through.
Well they're all xx100 since that is 1.00 mm squared cross section for the centre copper conductor. For long runs you can get xx125 to reduce losses per metre. Anyway the issue is what do CT, FT, WF and now GT mean. My experience is they vary depending on the manufacturer and seller who seem to ignore the standards.Just so you know...

Reading up, the problem with RG6 appears to be the solid foil part of the screen is aluminium which is not ideal. Copper plated aluminium (CT100 and FT100) or solid copper (WF100) provide better screening. Oddly my first batch of CT100 also had solid copper foil for the screen. CT is partly air spaced between core and foil and only intended for indoor use lest it turn into a hosepipe for rain. FT and WF are foam spaced so suitable for exterior use. No idea what GT is supposed to be.
I never had any problems with "double twisted pair" ADSL other than the ISP sucked and every time the power went out, so did it as they had no battery back up.
In the 1990s, I worked for a CCTV company and we ran miles of RG6 between our cameras and recorders, occasionally between buildings. While the skill and dedication of our installers varied, I don’t ever recall a problem with the coax except one splice ising wire nuts.
I nearly plopped my pants the first time I saw 'wire nuts' being used for mains power connections in the states. We stopped using those things here in the UK after the first world war!
Of course, the tech who did that had an excuse - he was out of BNCs and had to make the connection.I nearly plopped my pants the first time I saw 'wire nuts' being used for mains power connections in the states. We stopped using those things here in the UK after the first world war!
But using wire nuts for a coaxial cable install is, well 'nuts'
