Of course, having gotten bored and decided to read the spec, Cat8 has a maximum length of 30 meters. Sort of makes the idea of taking it to the desktop a little bit of a challenge.
Doesn't mean the IT guys won't try for it anyway, but it at least gives us the ability to say "ok, you're moving all your users into the server rooms?"
Like I said in an earlier post. CAT8 is meant for the data center and not for the office environment.
Fiber to the desktop is happening all over. They are using a passive fiber network which keeps the cost down. Cost is the biggest factor as to why fiber to the desktop hasn't taken off.
