Comment on How should everything be routed?

Wait really? I’ve never heard this before. How or why does this matter at all?

They are trolling, it doesn’t matter at all.

Ok, I figured, but you never know.

Theyre not. Since there is optical fiber involved (laser) the light inside white cables work better in a bright environment, there will be less light attenuation leaking out. The reverse is true in a dark environment, dark cables will block more light keeping it inside of the cable, leaving more data intact without loss.
