[QUOTE="thor447, post: 3422066, member: 24867"] For your puposes, CAT5 would work just as well as CAT6. With CAT5, you'll get transfers of 10/100 Mbps at a 100 MHz bandwidth. CAT6 offers faster data speeds if your network is capable of it. CAT6 is shielded, which cuts down on crosstalk, but if you're not running several lines, you shouldn't have this issue. I'd probably stick with CAT5 for your home network - just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
