OMG....dont you people read??
Where did I ever say a phone system needs Cat 5...and who says I cant use Cat 5 for voice???? LOL
Reread the post again, David!
My customer had some company 1 year ago string 7 or so cat 3 (non-outdoor) lines 20 something feet from one building to the next with duct tape Its looks like shit, and sooner or later theyll fail.
The other building now needs 100 mbps network access....
So, I am planning on using a multipair cat 5 cable to run both both voice and data, instead of having 2 seperate cables...Im just using one.
Comprende?
Fiber for 20 feet to me isnt practical...
