CAT5 or CAT6 for EIOC and PK networks.

Hello,

We will be setting up our first EIOC on site and so I was looking for Cat5 shielded ethernet cable in the color orange my vendor told me that it was unavailable.

So my question is can I use Cat 6 shielded ethernet cables for DeltaV Networks such as the ACN, EIOC, PK networks?

Books Online only says Cat5 but maybe it was just never updated.

Thanks
