We are upgrading some of our Ethernet infrastructue. The runs won't be over roughly 35 meters, and most will be shorter. The existing infrastructure is Cat 5e. They are planning on redoing with Cat 6 but I'm thinking given the way things are headed in IT land and SDI switching to IT infrastructure it would be prudent to go with Cat 6A and maybe pull some 40gig cables to strategic locations like online and protools to help future proof for fast 4K storage needs etc.. While the runs are short enough that Cat 6 is speced for 10gig I'm thinking the better performance of 6A might be significant when we go to 10 gig ethernet. A quick google suggests that 6A is roughly 30% more than 6 but given the labor costs to redo this down the line it seems prudent to go with 6A.
Does anyone have thoughts or experience with any real benefit of 6A over 6 given our relatively short runs. Had they used Cat 6 on the original install this would not be a discussion now but given the costs they are incurring from being short sighted initially I'm thinking maybe we shouldn't make the same mistake twice. My gut says it's the labor not the material costs they make future proofing worthwhile.
