Re: Cat 6 UTP cable

200M is totally unacceptable. 95M is the standard, and as an engineer you
should fight for this.

What you allow ultimately will fall on you.

This is like a asking a mechanic to tie a string to the throttle so that you
can use that instead of a gas pedal. Will it work? Ok, maybe...should the
mechanic do it for you just because you ask? No. No good mechanic would
accept that crap, and no good engineer should push the limits this far. I
am not blaming you, I am encouraging you that your doubts are totally
founded....

Tell the client, or your bosses, that the only acceptable method here is to
run multimode fiber and, yes, upgrade the switches if they don9t have SFP
ports. The transceivers for 1Gb fiber are like $150? This isn't9 that
expensive.

If you are running new copper, stop....and then fire your cabling
contractor.
