I recently received the ethernet cable for my advanced decks and it is quite a bit longer than it needs to be since they are right next to each other in my installation. Is this a standard ethernet cable? If so I will look into getting a shorter version. The only reason I ask is that it is labeled "crossover wiring".
If this is non-standard wiring for an ethernet cable, what special requirements does this introduce when using an ethernet hub required for XM weather?
