Nice write up, but what’s the big advantage of cat6 over cat5e if the switch is limited to 1gb?
Author here. No advantage on 1 Gbit, I replaced the cable for two reasons:
- The CAT 5e was too short, ending in the junction box in the entryway. I needed it to continue down to the basement.
- Even though the switch is only 1 Gbit now, it can be upgraded in the future. 2.5 or even 10 Gbit on those short distances.
