No problems anywhere I've used them, and I've used them throughout 
my QTH in Chicago and here in CA. I've recommended them to a lot of 
others, and no reports of problems. Mine were (and still are) on the 
networks that carry traffic for my office, my wife's office, and 
internet radio streaming to me 24/7. 

What CAT5 circuits do NOT like is ty-wraping, stapling, and neat 
bundling. 

Think about it -- Ethernet hardware has MISERABLE common mode 
rejection, both into and out of the box. Choking those lines kills 
both radiation and reception of trash. On the reception side, that 
means fewer errors and retransmissions. On the radiation side, that 
means less trash on the ham bands.
