[VoIP] Cat6 Cable

[Lee Spenadel]

I've done Ethernet before at distances around 600' myself with no errors.

If you're happy using the fiber, fine. But most Ethernet devices will 
work fine at longer distances than 328 feet -- 5-600 ft is usually not a 
problem. Just put a hub or switch at each end of the interbuilding cable 
and you'll be fine.

Any cable that meets RUS specification is fine for voice -- if in fact 
you even need gel filled. If it's in conduit, why? Getting people to 
sell you a few hundred feet of outside plant cable can be tricky, but I 
have had good luck with Anixter.
