Good Morning
Is anyone using CAT 5 for LAN connected IP Phone?
Management is wanting to use existing CAT 5 rather than install CAT 6
 
We only stock and use CAT 5E now because it will run gigabit where the CAT 5 is only really rated at 100 mbs. But keep in mind, to run gigabit all of your devices will have to be upgraded to gigabit. As well as your phones need to be gigabit if using the same drop for data.
