Hi All,

A mate is in the process of fitting out a new shop and has asked me
what he should do about running network points around the shop.

He electrician is going to do it but I'm not sure what to advise re
the network cabling.

He doesn't need much bandwidth as it will only be a bit of web
browsing, possibly some cloud based POS and remote access to his CCTV
so would Cat5e still be ok or should is Cat6 as easy / straightforward
to use and more 'future proof please?

FWIW, maximum run from router / switch to socket will be about 20m (as
the cable runs).

Cheers, T i m

p.s. And assuming he doesn't need loads, where would be the easiest
place for him to order / get it all from (cable and sockets etc)
please?

p.p.s. My house is still mainly the Cat3 I installed a long time ago
which was the 'in thing' over Cheapernet! ;-)
