Thanks, Chris. My point was missed by most. Whether capitalized or not, you aren't getting a rhinoceros if you ask for a kleenex, no matter how you capitalize it. However, with ethernet connectors, depending on what you are writing, they have different ends. So of more importance is what type of ending is requiredâfor example, Cat 5, 5e, 6, etc.
I love these chats. I always learn something because we all come from different directions, and I appreciate everyone's opinions and thoughts.
