Thanks for the clarification Mr. BuzzKill. Would it have killed you to cosign my BS? I know for a fact the electrons will be happier in the Cat 6. Even a single line in a twisted pair will spin around like a fancy roller coaster and except for the occasional ralphing electron with an upset tommy the rest will be so happy they might just start tunneling their way all over the place. Besides these wires go near the main power box so I was going to use some of the spare wires to test the GFI in the neighboring bathroom. With access to the isolated neutral I should be able to really make some sparks fly. ;-)
