a friend just dropped off some LAN cable at my place, its not CAT6 like i wanted. Instead its CAT5e.
Should i wait untill i can get some CAT6 or just go ahead and install with this type of cable?
(its for home network - nothing overly demanding)

used cat5e for most of the house, never had a prob
One thing to look out for is power cables as they will cuase interference. Either avoid them by about 30cm or so, some say more or less, or hit them at 90 degrees crossing.
Also prob best to buy a box of the stuff, cheaper and the cable is more rigid. Dont buy dick smith 30 meter cables and cut the ends as they are actually stranded copper wires, not solid cores so you might get more loss.

it's 100 metres between repeaters (switches, routers, hubs etc) so you can have a cable run of 200 metres so long as there's some sort of repeater half way. also with wireless networking so cheap these days, it would probably be easier to set up a wireless lan rather than stuffing around with long cable runs.
