I'm working on the network side of an office remodel at my Church. The
cabling job will be contracted out, so I have no horse in the race other
than trying to save money. Is there a benefit in running Cat6 over
Cat5e? They're on a 100mb network now, and it's running just fine.
Very little file sharing, mainly internet surfing and Word Docs.
Probably looking at around 30-50 ports, half are VoIP Phones. Everyone
is recommending Cat6, but I'm wondering if it's worth it. Isn't cable
and terminations for Cat6 about 30% more than Equivalent Cat5e? I can't
see the office needing over gig ethernet for the foreseeable future.
Does Cat6 bring any other benefits?
