re: #260 Thanos

Yeah I might wait a year, to do it right would take some serious rewiring here at the res to the latest Cat 6X???, at least 6 hard ports doing at least 2.5GBE, and 4 ports of 10GB - right now all the gear would be a compromise unless I spend mega bucks on 10GBE all the way around.

The best you could do with copper is CAT6A. It’s not an actual spec but it’s a slight bandwidth kick up from CAT6. CAT7 copper is not worth the cost: the cabling but most importantly the ends and labor skyrocket. You’re better off with OM3/4 fiber.

If I want to ruin a guy’s day I tell him he has to terminate CAT7 for a week. The sound is somewhere between a drunk rooster and an angry baby seal.
