      Anecdotal, but I’m doing 10g over a 100ft 5e cable. It’s not technically supported, but it does work on short runs.

        I’m hoping for the best I can get right now. 1G is the choke point and rated speed, but I’ll take anything better if I don’t have to restring that cable.

        My fastest current devices are 2.5gE, but I mostly want to loosen the choke point

          I like my Zyxel multi-gig switches, but I’ve heard others complain about lack of features. They get the job done for 2.5, 5, & 10gb

            I had last looked about a year ago, and even simple switches were expensive. What a difference! I might have to do that
