Last year, I bought, maybe, my last box of Min Compliant cat-5e cable. A customer called and wanted to know why he can't send his new GIG ethernet stuff over the cable.
So I got to thinking. Has anyone tried pushing GIG over 5e? The customer says that his manual says it can be done. Gee I wish I'd used better cable and jacks.
It looks like the price is going to be double for jacks and wire, 50% more for patch panels, and Patch cables will retail for $10-20 each. The switch is about 25% more, but he said the network cards were really expensive, but he bought a Dell through Dell.
Anyone have any more input?
