Cat5e question

[ingeborgdot]

Let me see if I can explain this right. Let's say I have pre-made cat5e. It is terminated type B. The plug in the wall is type A and runs to the other plug on the other end which is Type A. The cable on the other side is type B. Is that a problem? Because most of the pre-made cables I see are type B.
Actually, what is better? Type A or type B?

Another question. What is the maximum length you can have a stranded cable. Monoprice sells 100' cables and say they work great. I have talked to people and they say they are great. What is your consensuses?

You can interchange cables as long as both ends are terminated with the same type.

Neither is better.

Stranded cable works for us up to and exceeding 200 feet. Then again we only truly need 10mbit and the data throughput is quite low.
