Hi Ski, I'm pretty sure you can use Cat6 (not 6a), but it requires extra testing and the length is limited to no more than 55m, and likely less, based on the site conditions. Cat6a is supports runs out to 100m.
FWIW, we use Cat6 for 10GBASE-T for runs out to 10m. Runs longer than that we run over multi-mode OM3/4 fiber with SFP+ transceivers.
