Hi All,

Just seen this on the newsdesk at work.....

---------
BT has confirmed its attitude in the cabling debate currently occupying the
telecomms industry - that enhanced Category 5 is still the best cabling
solution for supporting everything up to and including Gigabit Ethernet. BT
recommends optical fibre for companies requiring even higher bandwidth.
Kevin Sollis, BT business information systems, said: "BT is commited
to
supplying customers with the best value and most appropriate solution for
their cabling.
"During the last two years, BT has installed enhanced Category 5
structured
cabling schemes that are guaranteed to support Gigabit Ethernet. Category 6
is simply not necessary for Gigabit Ethernet.
Even after more than a year, the standard for Category 6 is still very much
unresolved."
----------
..... so plenty of life left in CAT5 yet :-))
