The exception to that would be if you're only using Cat 6 as a "future proofing"
effort, and are willing to replace (hopefully easily accessible) connectors if
you do try to upgrade beyond Gigabit Ethernet.
FWIW, long time ago we installed Cat 5 with Cat 3 connectors for the same
reason. Found that in most cases it worked just fine at 100 MHz. But then, we
weren't pushing it right to the distance limit, either.
