More importantly, why do we need CAT6?
Ed -
If I've said this before then I apologize, but...
Type out "The quick brown fox..." in notepad, wordpad and ms word. Then save the results and look at the file size.
NOBODY corporate sends email that they didn't write first in MS word. Then when you include the fonts, the pictures and the graphics, you see why the networks get overloaded.
Not to mention the corporate culture of downloading videos (and porn) at the office.
To paraphrase an old saying:
You can never be too rich, too thin or have too much bandwidth.
In the corporate world, if you're the IT manager and the CEO can't download...something... because of a slow network, you're going to get a reaming, at the very least - if not fired!
As a telecom professional - rejoice in this! We thought we'd all be out of work forever once we put in 100mbs Cat 5 cable plants! Cat 8 should take you through retirement!
