[Dxbase] a interesting article which may be causing some problems

Basically, what it says is...that USB cables that have the common node type ferrite chokes 
on them, can cause a loss of signal.

Probably a shot in the dark.

When I had DSL which ran to router and extra hub, I had what I called 'micro-outages'.

Never got a handle on it.
Now we have cat6 cable, much heavier shielding, I bought a few and found less rfi effect.
Same with the new RG6 TV cables.

I've found that when I had problems that no one else was reporting....that usually, it was 
something wrong with MY system.
I used to have a wireless mouse that would lock up. No one else reported it. By 
happenstance I found that if I put the mouse charger/receiver on the floor my lockups went 
away. No change to cable, connector etc., just location.

I had a problem with my Comcast Cable feed. If they had an outage, my modem router, would 
never come back online...till I switched to a cat6 cable between the modem and router.

So basically what I'm saying is....when you have a computer/radio problem, that appears 
unique, keep trying cables, moving components, plugs, adapters, etc.

Any part made by man, can fail, or not be up to standards.
