Cat 3 is good for...

[pvrfan]

Found a few more things that had belonged to my late brother including 2 nearly full boxes of Cat 3.  Could be almost 2,000 feet.  24 gauge, manufactured "11/6/Q4".
 
If I pulled any more telephone lines, which is highly doubtful, I would use at least Cat 5e.
 
Is there any good use for Cat 3 nowadays?  Alarm wiring?

The cat3 cable can be used anywhere a wire of that gauge is required. It jsut won't perform well in high speed data communications.
