Doesn't matter. I tried this a couple days ago. Used a purchased 6" cable that I had been working fine in the wiring closet. Did nothing for the GbE issue with my Pine.
I wish people would stop talking about cables as a possible solution. It's not. Take five minutes to enjoy doing something you love vs. making yet another cable that's not going to do anything to help your situation.
Agreed. My friend tried a 100ft cable on his and it worked fine. Wonder if it's worth replacing the port? Doesn't look like it would be hard to remove.
The soldering on the RTL chip is pretty low quality. I see 2 pins that might actually be shorted. I'll have to find my meter and see if i can test it.
