Maybe not for a RPC, but A3010s seem very susceptable to noise. 
Actually, yes, I let somebody use my Demon account, with my modem and
ANT, on a RPC which was connected via those extension cables - and
there wasn't one single 'Bad FCS..'  but the poor 3010 gets them
regardless ;-(

So, for an 3010, its best to have a decent line for it, as it
*should* improve the performance - it certainly does on mine :)

Another reason to note is, that the actual CPU in the 3010 can't cope
with much going on at the same time.  I tend to find that when I'm
loading things at the same time, by Bad FCS rate tends to fill the
window a little bit :-)
