4. Ghosting effect
a. Some lower end CAT5/6 cables may have a different twist for internal cables which will result different signals
arrive at the destination at different time and therefore cause Ghosting effect. The ghosting effect is basically
letters doubling up or incorrect colors. We include 2 x Skew adapters in the package, it is recommended to
use them.
