I was careful to specify it would be a switched network. We'd be putting
in new switches. The cabling is likely old, and was used with a standard PBX previously.
I know you said switches but it wasn't clear [to me] you'd be putting in new ones. I've had no end of arguments with IT administrators who don't know the difference so assumed you may be basing the enquiry on third party information.
My question was really about experience, not theory, and some of you shared some very useful stuff. I know in theory it "should" work, and I know old cabling can have myriad problems. Reality often works out very different from theory. In all likelihood, if we took this route, it would have a contractual caveat that problems may be blamed on the cabling and they'd have to swap it out.
Contract sounds good but I'd still be inclined to get a tester on there if only to weed out the cables that will have issues.
