I have no idea, but even if you are wrong by half, the amount of
reflection on the line will be negligible. For example, a source
impedance of 50 Ohm, and load impedance of 100 Ohms, produces an SWR of
2:1 and a reflection coefficient of 0.3333. The square of 0.3333 is
0.1111, or 1/9, fractional. This means that eight-ninths of the power
from your network card would actually be delivered to the load (minus
any losses in the cable). The remaining one-ninth is reflected from the
load and is only a minor source interference to the data on the line.
