Generally speaking, better cables are normally thicker overall.
Thanks for that, I was considering PoE devices too so, more the merrier current handling wise. Who knows what the future holds for what devices we dangle on the LAN. I'm keeping an ear to the ground on what cable is avalable pricewise vs future proofing, but I'm not one to cut my nose off to spite my face. A year ago, here, the only viable ISP that had scope for a good speed was Virgin ££££ where I am. Today I can get 150mbps up/down for £20 odd quid a month with 3gbps available, hence the landscape changes fast... Still pondering on this : - )
