Help, Random "Hot Plug" Events!

@mer This was a cat6 rated cable and only 3 ft long so surely it "should" have been ok. There must have been some issue with it that wasnt noticble until It has being used at 2.5GB.

@mark77ap "Just because the packaging said cat6 rated doesn't mean it was tested at cat6" :) In the long run, cables are usually the cheapest part so having extras on hand and swapping them out is usually step 2 after making sure everything is really plugged in.

Wow, the cable? Well, I tried two different 6 foot CAT6 cables (one unknown brand and another Amazon basics). Both were UTP (unshielded). Maybe I'll have to try some other cable brands, or different types of cables like CAT6e or CAT7 or even some STP (shielded) cables. I'll have to swing by my work and "borrow" a few to test with
I'm glad you were able to solve your dropouts with just a cable, that's great news! I hope I have the same luck!
