Can I use EIA/TIA TSB-36 Cat 5 wire to set up my network? Or do I need another type of cat 5?

Thanks in advance for any help:D

Thanks for the reply CompGeek83.

My father told me today that they used it to set up a network where he works, so it should do the job.

I'm putting the project on hold until the @home situation clears up.:rolleyes:
