Quad core cat6?

[DHR]

Anyone used cat6 with more than one set of pairs? (e.g. 8, 12, 16 pairs etc)

Have a situation where I want to run just the one cable, but ideally need 4 cat6 cables. I've found van damme stuff, but that's about it so far?.

Cables within cables correct, I've found bundles of 3 cat5e, I've got two working cat6 run at the moment.

Purpose is to run my networking kit upstairs, ubiq firewall, switches etc. with a couple of storage servers, initial connection coming from the BT/Openreach OTP.

It's not a massive run so I am tempted with your suggestion of fibre, not done anything with fibre outside of traditional enterprise storage though.

Edit - Sometimes you just need to say things in order for you to get them straight in your head. The ubiq firewall I have has only one 2.5Gb wan port, so the cat6 will do for now. Everything after that will be a 1-10gb depending on device so all good.
