Hi,
In populating our racks with several gigbit switches
over the next few days, i'm wondering this:

Is it over-engineering to seek out 550mhz rated cables
over the typical Cat 6 250mhz rated cables?

I've been advised (if you can a salesperson's words
advice, heh.) that 250mhz is enough to handle traffic
up to 10GB's.

Should I just be happy with Cat6 for my GB switches or
is is worth getting more into the details and seeking
550mhz-rated cable?

Just curious what your experience is in migrating away
from the typical 10/100 cables of yore to the spiffier
world of gb rated traffic.

For what it's worth, I've been using cat6 without incident (at least no incident that I'm aware of...).

Cheers,
