What speed are you running? 10Mbt? 100Mbt? 1Gb? 10Gb?

What spec are your current cables? If they're 10 years old, then there may be some room for improvement, but if you're < 1Gb you probably won't see it.

If you have the cash, go cat 6, although I don't think the price diff is that great anyway.

FWIW, we've been migrating to fiber for the past few years. In the new data center I'm moving into, we have more fiber drops than Cu drops.
