Moving to Gigabit Ethernet

[Frank Davenport]

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).

  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?

  Craig
