No. >> A test does not have latency >>any more than a cable does. > > The test(s) utilize timing differences to make the aforementioned >determinations. Timing differences is not latency and interface hardware does not make such tests. The signal *delay* through an interface is "latency", and it has virtually nothing (measurable) to do with the twist of the cable pairs. That is for the simple reason that variations in the rather huge by comparison latency of other parts of a transmission system would make such measurements impossible without significant expense. That is, yes the effect of different twist can be measured but the test setup will cost thousands of dollars per cable segment to do it. A million dollar network becomes a billion dollar network... >>> Mustn't put badly fabbed cables into the system.

I wont digress to >relinquishment of trust. Digression, my ass. It's a digression when you go off topic to something that has no significance, express yourself in an extremely crude and rude way for no purpose other than your own emotional satisfaction. My reference to Bell had logical significance to the discussion, yours was only emotional and only to you. >> but it does demonstrate a certain >>level of integrity, or lack of such. > > You sure you want to follow the troll into this realm, Floyd? Well, as you noted above, I "didn't even retort". I have no reason to follow you into that realm. > Attacking my character... not too bright. > > You know I work on state of the art equipment, right? > > I help keep people like you safe. That may be, but I certainly am not aware of whether you do or don't. What is very clear is that you do not have technical knowledge of the equipment we are discussing. That doesn't prevent you from using it to a purpose, or suggest that you don't have operational skills, but it limits your credibility in describing it's functionality. Using the equipment is one thing, designing or trouble shooting its function is something very different. As others have alluded, the janitor may not be a design engineer, but he will have exactly the same mission goal! -- Floyd L.
