Hello There,

I am about to buy a NAS and think about going 10G connection to one PC.

I am wired with CAT7 and a length of 15-20 Meters between NAS and PC. Unfortunately, I had to squish the cables and couldn’t use the cornering radius.

I know this will have impact on the 10g connection. But in which way? Will the connection just be slower? Or is it prone to conection losses?

Thank you!

    First of all, use Cat6/6a. Most Cat7/8 stuff you’ll find is fake junk. Also, don’t use flat cables.

    Like others said, just test it. Squished cable could be ok, or you could have broken a couple cables in the jacket and it’ll either not work at all or give you 100Mbps. In either case, just get Cat6 and don’t squish it, lol.
