I'm not sure if the difference in cables will
effect your workstation, but I'd reccommend
against using the wrong cable.

We had a problem where someone picked up a
75 ohm terminator instead of the 50 ohm.
(by mistake).
It took us almost 4 hours to find the problem,
since it didn't show up right away.  It was 
installed during low load times and the few 
workstations which were running seemed ok.
Later when everyone went to work the network
would bomb intermitently.
Replacing the 75 ohm terminator with the
50 ohm one solved all the problems.

Good Luck,
Arthur
