But I wouldn't want to subject it to the cabling, because (well, I'm not
100% sure if that's right) slot #1's cable is the shortest.
There are some scenarios where a shorter cable could show up a design
fault, when a longer cable wouldn't. I'm not an expert by any means,
and just off the top of my head, perhaps:
Over-saturated inputs
Stronger signal reflections
Auto-termination problems
I've certainly heard of badly designed Ethernet devices not working with
very short cable lengths....
