The existing wiring should be sufficient. I can HIGHLY recommend the HP procurve 2824 or the 2848. They are GREAT price to performance and they arent over subscribed like some switches (*cough* cisco *hack*) in the same price range. -Scott Craig White Sent by: plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us 08/03/2005 09:56 AM Please respond to Main PLUG discussion list To Main PLUG discussion list cc Subject Moving to Gigabit Ethernet Have a client with approximately 45 workstations. Office is wired for Cat 5 Links such as http://www.networkworld.com/news/tech/2000/1016tech.html suggest that it may be possible to run Gigabit ethernet on the existing wiring (perhaps I need to rewire the ends with Cat 5e or Cat 6 connectors). Has anyone done this type of thing with success? What type/brand/model switches did you use? Anything I should be considering?
