Running Cable Through Ductwork 

I don't remember if it's 6a or 6e. And I know it's not code but fine for that

WTF is he going to need 10Gbps for? LOL

@@cdnmr Transferring files will easily saturate a 10Gbps link (which is only about 1.25 gigabytes per second). I have my media server in an entirely different room from my PC, which I use to host my photos and videos. For Lightroom, my catalog runs from my media server and for videos, I run current projects from my PC but archive previous ones to the media server. 10Gbps is very reasonable on LAN, not so much for WAN

I don't need 10Gbps. But why waste overhead making more than one type of networking hardware. Just raises prices and lowers profit

Really well as long as the cats don't decide to eat it. Lol

You can try to wiggle it around and hope for the best. You can also try push rods instead of fish tape

you ever figure it out?

It is still working fine. It may not be code, but for a house, it's fine. It's not that hot in the duct.

CAT5, CAT5e and CAT6 are all unnecessary when the only need to make CAT6e. And that will cut down on manufacturing cost making it cheaper
