     I will shortly be supervising the purchase and
installation of the necessary pieces to ethernet together
three VAXen with an end-to-end separation of 300 meters.
The connection to the ethernet coaxial cable will be made
with H4000 transeivers.  I would like to know if there is
any reason why I have to use ethernet cable from DEC, or
whether cable from another manufactor would be satisfactory?
If a third party vendor cable is usable, do people have
recommendations for particular manufactors, or are there
general considerations one should look at when shopping for
cable?

Please reply by mail.  If there is sufficient interest in
the results, I will post them to this group.

				Thank You.
