    It kind of triggers the mind with new state input. So more psychological. But it’s understandable, as a new category can encompass not just wind speed, but whater dropped, storm surge, and other factors that are amplified in Cat5 in a higher carbon atmosphere.

      Also have to consider Cat5e which, due to its higher number of twists per inch, ends up being capable of much higher speeds without crosstalk.

        Honestly you should be moving to Cat6 hurricanes and deprecating your Cat5e, since 2.5 gigabit Ethernet wind speed is becoming a consumer-grade thing.

          Both Cat5e and 6 can deliver solid PoE which is good news for the inevitable power cuts.
