Hello everybody

I intend to try those cable but I wonder if I will be able to use my internet Hub with no damage at all.

Thanks to share your experience and knowledge

ML over CAT7 must be completely separated from TCP/IP Internet, Ethernet, ...

Start at the beginning and read the B&O installation book carefully ...

THanks Vienna for your answer.

Cat 6 should be enough, don't you think ?

Cat 6 or 7 is of no importace as long you are using the cable for analog MasterLink or PowerLink.

But the layout (construction) of the cable is very important!

You need a screened / shielded cable + each twisted pair being seperately shielded/foiled.  

B&O recommends/sells Cat 7 - S/FTP cable (Screened / Foiled Twisted Pair) from "TYCO"

Any Cat 6 or Cat 7 cable described as:

S/FTP = Screened / Foiled Twisted Pair
S/STP  = Screened / Shielded Twisted Pair 
F/FTP  = Foiled / Foiled Twisted Pair
SF/FTP = Screened & Foiled / Foiled Twisted Pair

should do the analog ML/PL job properly. 

PS: keep in mind - in the future - in a B&O "all digital" NetworkLink installation you might 
      need the higher bandwidth offered by a Cat 7 cable ...
