I hate to even suggest that there is a difference in bloody ethernet cables but there it is - maybe it is a Cat6e vs Cat7 thing, whatever that is......
According to the Meicord site, the dressing of the cables so that they don’t cross each other on the way to the plug, eliminates NEXT (Near End Cross Talk).
Must admit that its ethernet spaghetti junction behind my system. I'll give it a go. Meicords are unshielded so may be more susceptible to crosstalk? Apart from the fact that they are rather stiff and springy, they are great cables and worth the money.
