I agree. The termination of the wiring is
more important. No kinks in the runs, and the twists are to be maintained
on both ends. 1/2 inch untwist is the max.
The jacket cover also is to be maintained as close
to both ends as possible.
The objective is to alleviate NEXT, (Near End Cross
Talk).

Ethernet
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.

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?
