|  Can I run Poe over Cisco VoIP with Cat 5 cable???
I'm still learning about VoIP and need someone to point me to some information that let's me know the cabling requirments. Mostley I run accross installations where the customer is using Cat 5e. But sometimes it's Cat 5. What problems if any will I have with the Cat 5 cabling infratructure?

Standard rules apply. Cat5 for 10/100. Cat5e for gig.
No issue w/ PoE. |

said by priller  :Cat5 for 10/100. Cat5e for gig. I thought both Cat5 and Cat5E are for 10/100Mbps and Cat6 is for Gps. Can anyone confirm this? |

| Cat 5: Currently unrecognized by TIA/EIA. Provided performance of up to 100 MHz, and was frequently used on 100 Mbit/s ethernet networks. May be unsuitable for 1000BASE-T gigabit ethernet.
Cat 5e: Currently defined in TIA/EIA-568-B. Provides performance of up to 100 MHz, and is frequently used for both 100 Mbit/s and gigabit ethernet networks.
Cat 6: Currently defined in TIA/EIA-568-B. It provides performance of up to 250 MHz, more than double category 5 and 5e.
Cat 6a: Future specification for 10 Gbit/s applications.
