Re: Cat5e and rg6 for newbuild

["nicecorrado" <gormleyd@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for all the replys

I will just be distributing tv from the sky box at the moment but=20
want to allow for future upgrades/technologies, I am not sure which=20
will be the most future proof  rg6 or ct100/125

I can get cat5e from my local eletrical wholesale for =A330  for 305m=20
but am not sureof the quality? I dont mind spending a few extra=20
pounds now, just don't want to be caught down the road with a cable=20
that doesnt have good enough performance,

The expensive one is tested to 350mhz and 1000 megabit data rate=20
where the cheaper is tested to just 16mhz. Will this make a=20
difference?

Thanks again
Dave
