Been a dream project for years but when I first explored it a decade ago, cat6 was still new and expensive, and wasn’t recommended because “who needs internet that fast”.
I went all out with Cat6A. I have some 10Gbps capabilities with my home lab, and although I currently do not have any 10GbE copper capable systems, I thought I’d try to go future proof.
My only regret is that I only went with riser grade cable - plenum was way too much, even for plain Cat6.
I literally just did this over the Christmas break. The drywall mounting outlets are a game changer.
Incredible stuff! Cat6?

Just run OM3 and you’ll be set for 100gbe!
