(NT) Can CAT5e or CAT6 be used?

Jul 28, 2004 7:22AM PDT

I am finally moving my office from the house and trying to get all of my wiring done in the new building. At present, I have CAT5 wire connecting my network. Can I use CAT5e or CAT6 in the new building?
What is the difference between the three?

Thanks for any assistance!
