Over the past few months, I’ve been trying to educate myself a bit further in the world of networking. It’s a complex, convoluted, but incredibly interesting part of the tech world that I never paid enough attention to before, and something that has become increasingly interesting to me in my daily life. My quest to learn more about Ethernet cords, specifically, started when I upgraded my internet speeds to 1000 Mbps. Those little numbers on the shielded jackets were confusing, and I needed answers.
