[TriLUG] European Ethernet Cables for Laptop Travelers?

[Jim Ray]

Cat5e will do gig ethernet and is not much different than Cat6 for short
patch cables.

Things get dusty this far back in my memory but if I recall Mannheim
went
gig to the user ports which would require Cat5e or Cat6.  I'd carry a
cat6
cable just in case.
