Go for CAT6 instead then if you were to upgrade to a gigabit connection within your house ie, gb switch etc you'd be covered. CAT6 cabling is also more reliable.

If you work in IT then you should know CAT6 offers no functional benefits over 5e. The differences over 5e are that it's more resistant to interference from power, and that you have to be certified to install it, which is where the main advantages over 5e come from (standardised bend radius, only using approved patch panels etc). I doubt the OP is a certified CAT6 installer so most of the benefit is lost.

CAT6e is dramatically improved over both CAT5e and 6, and is required for reliable operation at 10gbe.

Toxo, I was mainly pointing out the fact that it would provide flexibility if he were to go for a gigabit network, and as you stated above, its more resistant to interference. As for needing to be certified to install it, never heard that before. On a cost basis however, CAT5e should be ok.

Gigabit works just fine over CAT5e, always has done. From wikipedia:

Quote:Each 1000BASE-T network segment can be a maximum length of 100 meters (328 feet), and must use Category 5 cable or better (including Cat 5e and Cat 6).

AFAIK 1000BASE-T actually predates CAT6. I did make a mistake in my earlier post though, when I said CAT6e I meant CAT6a :o

come to think of it now i could of run coaxial cable from the incoming signal straight to the out house then connect that to a wireless router like the way it is connected in the house, but ive got 50mtr of cat5e now so might aswell use it

You can only have one ADSL/Broadband router per phone line, so if you did that you'd have to have got rid of the one in the house. You can't split them like you can a telephone.
