Default Cat 5 wiring

You do know that a 20 ft coil is bad for two reasons? 20 extra feet
and coiling up a cat 5 cable. I want my network running optimally.


I probably wouldn't coil it up (although I doubt it'll make a
difference) -- no need to tempt the fates with extra inductance.
But an extra 20 feet is not an issue by itself unless you're running
near the length limits.
