Forks lag and looses

  • Hello,


    I have a question regarding IC cable forks (or splitting). I mean what happens when 3 cables meet. I've found this tutorial (on quite many sites and forums BTW), but I'm afraid it's outdated. So I'm referring to the cables and transformes parts of the mentioned tutorial, where it's advised to use transformers to reduce both lag and EU lost on forks. Is it still an issue? I'd like to mention that after getting rid of forks in favor of transformer splitting (yes, I did it, which took quite a long time) I think I have less lag, but since it's quite difficult to measure I can't say I'm 100% sure about it.

    Any issues related to "EU loss on uneven split" died when we moved to IC² a few months ago.
    The only real issue with Performance of Enet would be a flat xbyx square of cables. And even then you will only cause a spike everytime you connect/remove an element to said cables.
