[WISPA] Cable

[Tom DeReggi]

>but it should be nonconductive

Yes, so it doesn't short out.
But non-conductive also means that if it ooses between pins it prevents 
conductivity. Thus causing Ethernet Connection to intermittently 
temporarilly fail, until you pull them out and clean them.  Of course there 
are best practices like Drip loops. But it can still finds a way to creep up 
the cable in some situations.
