Correct me if I'm wrong but there is still no Cat6E standard? Also, what difference does the little "e" or big "E" make? We are providing a new billing sheet for our customers and I don't want to say that we will be installing something that cannot be verified. Is the whole Cat 6E idea just a marketing scheme for the manufacturers right now? Thanks.
 
Cat6 standard was ratified by the TIA in June 2002.

But I have not heard anything on a CAT6E ratification.

The "e" such as in cat 5e stands for "enhanced".
This was set up as kind of a filler while waiting for cat6.
