[QUOTE="IzzyS, post: 222723, member: 11110"] ...because at 100 Mbit/s (or maybe even Gigabit/s rates) the mid point 'sees' the signal, but the signal also carries on to the end of the chain. It will be reflected back down the cable and interfere with the midpoint signal at the receive point. Using dual sockets and patch leads means the transmitter 'sees' a correctly terminated load impedance, with no reflections. It's also important to follow the guidelines on bend radius, pulling force, not-overtightening cable ties, and not undoing too much of the "twist" of the twisted pair; they all contribute to mismatched impedance and can reduce performance. Or maybe I've mis-understood the OP. In which case, apologies to all. [/QUOTE]
