Cat 6 and Gigabit Lan

I had a thought the other day, but I'm not sure it will work, or even be able to help out the network. I was thinking about getting into a console, or at least starting to buy some of the gear associated with a console. I was looking at the manuals, and Cat 5e is the correct cables for the console/system. However, Cat 6 is fully compatible with all Cat 5 and 5e.

So my question is, if I was to make a gigabit lan system (Cat 6), would that improve the performance and/or work with a Hog3 system. Or does the hardware associated with the HogIII and DP2000 not make it able to improve speed and/or work?

Also, I saw a post about two years back about available ethernet switches on the market that would have both fiber and ethernet on them. Does anyone have any new suggestions of a product that has both? I think I'd like to invest in one that does. So either Cat 5e or Cat 6 and a fiber.
