At home, the cable is supporting analog STLs and Avaya Partner ACS system telephones. Nothing there really needs the capacity of 5e cable or related hardware.
At Church, we have an Avaya Merlin Magix with 4400 series sets and some analog door phones. There is also a small Avaya Partner ACS on hot standby. Likewise, nothing that needs 5e.
I ran 6E at home and 6A at Church for data. Overkill??? Perhaps. But I do like my appliances "dumb" rather than smart.
I guess my next question is what happens with high pair-count cable? Do they re-badge failed 25 pair CAT5E as CAT3?
