Interesting thread guys, thanks for all of the different POV's. We have been using CAT5e with RJ45C jacks for quite a while, say the last 5-6 years and have had only one jack that needed to be replaced as most of our clients' station sets tend to remain in place. We, too, have had to make upon occasion, an 8 pin plug to attach to a line cord to fit into an RJ45C jack at times just to prevent damage IF someone was going to be constantly plugging and unplugging their set, but that happens only rarely from our experience.
