And can CAT5e still be used for phones only? For example, we have 4 wall connections, 2 will be data - 2 will be phone, but all will be CAT5e/CAT6. Make sense?
no, just go optical!
if it's a new building i would go to loews or home depot and get their optical/6e bundle cable and use that. yes it will cost a small fortune but you don't have to worry about future upgrades and shit.
if you have a digital phone yes you can use cat 5e/6
