As long as it's not 100mbps ethernet on unshielded cable, that's the absolute worst for RFI.

As long as it’s not two children with cups attached to a shoestring, that’s the absolute worst.

Sure, but still harder to do than wifi

The issue with 100mbps ethernet is than it interferes with HF and VHF radio.

It would certainly be possible for radio to interfere with ethernet, but I've never knocked mine out even with 100 watts.

Sure, but the topic is “rf interference of your camera feeds”

You CAN interfere with Ethernet, but it’s much harder to do, as evidenced by your 100 watts
