cyril7: Yeah you should not be paying more than $120 for a box of 5e, and around $180 for cat6. I normally only put cat5e in, have run tests on the installs at Gigbit, no problems.

Hi Cyril
So running Gigbit lan, you find it is OK (given good quality terminations etc) on Cat5e? Any difference using UTP as opposed to STP?
Im going to make sure Power wiring is kept away form my network runs, and do the normal thing of 90deg where crossing.
For my in wall runs I was going to use Solid, and then stranded for he patch leads.
