Leviton Gigamax 5e vs 5e+ Bob McBob 11-21-05

I'm wiring my house for gigabit ethernet and am planning on using the
Leviton QuickPort jacks. Is there any reason to buy the 5e+
(component-rated) instead of the cheaper 5e (channel-rated) plugs?
The price difference seems to be about 15%.

Thanks!

Considering Gigabit ethernet runs fine over 5e - I'm not sure 5e+ is worth
the extra price.

It also depends on how many jacks you're wiring in your house and your
budget. If you're wiring 10 jacks - 15% isn't that much more to pay. But if
you're going to have 50 - 60 jacks... that's a different story : )
