Thanks for the suggestion fellow Nottingham person

Yer, I'm starting to think CAT6a with 10Gbps max speed transmission might be a better potential option?

The new/future NAS has 4Gbps max transfer speed, 1Gbps internet when that becomes more mainstream in the coming years, whilst even streaming 4k from the NAS to multiple network attached devices using the likes of Plex should still leave plenty of scope on CAT6a and come below 10Gpbs (if my numbers are correct)?
