Re: What Kind of Ethernet Cable is best?
If you don't have specialist requirements (such as running near serious RF sources) then I would use CAT5e.

UNLESS...

You are wireing up a building in a very permanent way, such as fitting cables in the wall space and building in wall sockets etc. In that case I would use CAT6 to future proof the installation. The cable is not expensive, but the effort is so best to over compensate now.
