For a permanent installation, with the possibility of growth (that is, speeding thing up later if the equipment at the ends of the cable get replaced) I'd think seriously about using Cat6.

Don't know if I'd go with the Plenum type cable, or not... I'm cheap, and the Plenum cable DOES get a lot more expensive.

I WOULD go with a conduit of some sort though.

Another question is; how MANY hundred feet? That may make the decision between Cat5 and Cat6 for you.
