For 4 and more windings it did not affected the link. When removing the winds the link quality was getting gradually worse. * I've put FT-50-61 toroid choke on + of the same pair and from 9-10 winds and up it prevented the ethernet from linking. When trying less winds the link quality was gradually better. * It's not good idea to use wire with 0.2mm diameter for more than 3A (too much voltage drop, too much heat). So probably 2A should be maximum.
