It's possible, yes. I've heard of performance issues, but haven't seen them myself. However, you will not be able to run gigabit across this for sure - it uses all eight wires. In any case, I'd highly recommend against it, unless there is absolutely no option to get new cable in. -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500
