Default Network and telephone cables?

When I am in the kitchen, I often kick one of my cat's balls.
After I kick it, he will sometimes play with it for a few
seconds to several minutes. *His favorite are the ones that
rattle. *He'll play with any ball that makes noise.


I use the same CAT 5 cable for both phone and data in my house. Data
only uses two pairs, phone gets a pair I used to run a fax machine on
it too. Never had a problem.

"Data only uses two pairs" I believe that is only true for 10BaseT
and 100BaseT - if you are using gigabit ethernet - and I would assume
that the OP is, or is planning on it sometime in the future, otherwise
he wouldn't be spending the extra $$ for Cat6 - that will use all four
pairs.
