I could not migrate to gigabit ethernet from 10 MBPS because the CAT5 cable I was using only had two available pairs.
I'm confused by this statement. CAT5, 5e, and 6 are four pair cables. The pairs have a tight twist but each has a different twist ratio ("lay") to minimize crosstalk. If the cables are wired per the Ethernet standard, each circuit should utilize one of the pairs, and in a specified order. What am I missing?
Now, we can do lots of things with that cable besides Ethernet -- I use it for RS232 and for running telephone pairs around my home.
