re: #264 BigPapa

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.

There’s nothing in this house that will ever over run CAT6A, So I have no worries there — but fiber for the sake of it sounds real appealing if I win the lottery.
