RE: Cat5 or Cat5e for structured cabling

Umar,

Run bigger ducting than you need, and puts several runs of _String_ in.

That way, in 5 years time, if fibre does become the thing to have, you can = pull it through with the string relatively easily.

Hi the reason I ask is the cheapest cat5 I have seen is =A367+VAT at
http://www.eclipse-computers.c= om for 1000 (thats a thousand metres !!!) and
the cheapest cat5e is =A327+VAT at local electrical distributor for 100
metres - a factor of 2.5 more expensive

Now what I need it for is for a new build house where I will be putting HA,=
computer network and media distribution (kat5? probably).

I know there are technologies such as cat6 etc, and even though I hope to overkill eg 24 point per room or something like that, will cat5 suffice for=
the forseeable future?

Cheers

Umar
