Flip to cat 6 if possible. You might want to go 2.5/5/10GB in the future, and that 5e aint gonna do it.

I'm running 10g over whatever shitty cat 5 the contractors put in when my building was built. The spec is more flexible than you might assume.

Still if you're pulling cable anyways, might as well do cat6.

Is that CAT plug and play?

When you hear the THUNK, you’ve reached the end of the run.
