Is CAT6 worth it for home networking?
The floorboards are up at home and I am ready to buy a truckload of
cable for domestic structured wiring. But which cable? In 15 years time, will a Dixons shop assistant laugh at me when I tell him that I want to run his megabandwidth HDTV over a CAT5e cable? I'm leaning towards CAT6 but terminating it with standard RJ45 wall plates as an interim solution. Might pull in a few optic fibres too if I feel lucky. Will I be able to connect phones into the CAT6 cable without a problem? (I know CAT5e is OK for PSTN.) Also what distance should the CAT6 be separated from CT100 cable? I know that this has been discussed in previous threads but I want to see if the view has changed now that the price of high bandwidth cable has fallen. |
