Why do it? The ethernet port on your transporter is only capable of

Would you replace the perfectly capable and fine power lead on your
kettle for $10?
My cat7 cable is much more robust than the cat5e.
Cat5e is capable of gigabit. I would say cat5 on 50m or less would be
very capable of gigabit depending on your hardware.
It is now unlikely cat6 will ever have consumer applications that cat5e
wasn't capable of.
Cat6a and cat7 is for 10gig which is still many years away from
consumer level when

I used Cat6 and I set up a gigabit network, including the router and
switches. Not because I need that for the SB players, including my
Transporter, but when I rewired my new home (well its a very old home,
but new to me), it was a rounding error difference in all the work to
use CAT6 vs CAT5e.
Spent the afternoon installing CAT6 cable running from music room to
study (Music server). My WAP works using either of the two cable runs
I've connected, however, my Transporter tells me there's no ethernet
link. I'm guessing it doesn't support CAT6, right?

I don't have a Transporter to test, but I'm pretty sure that anything
that works with cat5 or cat5e should work with cat6.

Problem solved - I hadn't seated the connector properly when plugging
into Transporter.
No more Ethernet over power - objective achieved.

Plugging it in does help ;)

There is no element of personal attack in my response.
I have a 25ft run of cat7. Works great. The only difference between the
old cat5 and cat6 and 7 is the shielding. Greater bandwidth is possible
with the better shielding. Not needed with the audio files we are
working with. Why not do it though! I only paid about $10 for my cable.

F**k - Cat6e is a pain in the nuts to strip back and terminate.
Now there's all that additional foil screen to deal with - that's gonna
cost in installation time, and no-one's gonna be prepared to pay for the
extra work involved !
