      Both cables have a max segment length of 100 meters. So once you get a signal booster or two on each run, you then only have to decide what type of phone system you will be utilizing. POTS (CAT-1)with signal boosters will provide voice only for each extention. Or you could go with VoIP (among others) with signal boosters; you will need to run at least CAT-5, but if your budget will allow, try to go with CAT-5e so you have the ability to operate on a stable 1000Base-T network.

          Cat5e is only for 100base-t networking. For 1000 you need cat6.

          Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop. -- Matthew Faithfull

            Not necessarily. If you look up the standard, CAT-5 was initially supposed to support 100Base-T and 1000Base-T, but it was an unofficial specification and fairly unstable on 1000Base-T networks. The CAT-5e specification was created to support a 1000Base-T network by simply making minor adjustments to the CAT-5 specification. CAT-6 does the same thing as CAT-5e, but has much more room to grow; like having power over ethernet, etc.

              Are these POTS - (48V plain telephone extensions) or proprietary or IP phones?

                The telephones are proprietary telephones, the extensions are Panasonic PABX extenstion, the plug is RJ11.
