Re: DATACENTER: Best CAT-5 supplier/brand
Isn't the enhanced supposed to be technically CAT 6 <gigabit> ready?
If you are buying any enhanced, I'd only go with the Lucent since they're
setting the cat 6 wire standard for the most part.
I find a noticeable difference in stiffness with the Lucent
solid core vs. Berk-Tek solid core. Harder on the fingers of your
installers.
