I'm going through "Unix and Linux System Administration Handbook", 5th edition. In chapter 14, "Physical networking" in the section on UTP cabling, it says:
Category 6a is the cable of choice for new installations because it is particularly resistant to interference from older Ethernet signaling standards (e.g. 10BASE-T), a problem that has plagued some Category 5/5e installations.
What does this mean? That a cable with 10BASE-T running on it will project heavy interference on nearby Cat5 cables, but Cat6-es will be just fine? Is there any reading available on the Internet on this issue? I simply want to make sure I got it right (English is not my first language). Thanks.
