Cat 6 cabling, Cat 5e patch cords. Will it work?
In our new building they ran Cat 6 cabling for our data even though we only have 10/100 nic's. Anways, can we use Cat 5e and/or Cat 5 patch cables to run to our PCs and Hub? Let me know if anyone knows because otherwise we'll have to go out and buy all new patch cables. Not sure who's idea it was to use Cat 6 but oh well. Thanks guys

Re: Cat 6 cabling, Cat 5e patch cords. Will it work?
Sure, that won't make any difference at all. CAT6 is just a better cable for high speed networks, but it works fine at any speed.
