Comment on FTTH upgrade - getting my LAN multi gig ready
CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 1 week agoTo be pedantic, there is no 6e. Just 6A. I am looking at a spool labelled 6e as I type this, but that’s just a manufacturer thing, not an actual spec.

Oops, you are correct of course, 6A is what I meant, plain 6 should work fine also most of the time, but there is pretty much no point going for that, unless you have that deployed already.

Cat 6 should be fine for 10gbit, you only really need 6A if you’re running near power mains or something with a lot of noise.
Just don’t put Cat 5e in new installs and you’ll be fine.
