cat6 is all fine and dandy.  however, i paid $450 per 1000' box due to 
customer specs for cat6 plenum cable and pay $55 per 1000' box for cat5e 
non plenum.  the only difference technically is that cat6 goes up to 10 
Gb.  cat5e takes you to 1 Gb.  not many folks have 10 Gb components 
available.

so, you can put it in for the future; however, you won't be able to do 
much with it now.

Regards,

Jim
