We have been testing our internal wiring in advance of the VOIP deployment with a Fluke tester.
Most of the wiring circuits are indicating pass results however, a few of them are indicating noise detected.
The noise is being caused by electrical interference somewhere in the path from the LAN jack to the termination block in our server room.
How significant could this problem be in affecting VOICE quality if any?
Are there tolerances in the technology that can absorb this interference?
I will add however, that data transmission thru these same circuits flows un-impeded in that the connections are maintaining 100 mb flow and POE capability.
Perhaps a reference to a subject mater expert can help me as well......if you know of one.
Thanks in advance.

Prot is correct.
VOIP is voice encoded and sent as data on the cat 5 line as ethernet packets, as most other data is.
corrections.
100 mb is 0.1 byte (per second)
what you mean is 100 Mb/sec, a big difference. If you are a technician or engineer, you need to use the correct terminology.
