Can I use it with my CAT6 ethernet cord? I notice everyone keeps saying they used a CAT5 cord.

Yes. 100Mb requires at least cat 5. Cat 6 is just better cable - capable of 1000Mb.

Im pretty sure you could because CAT5 and 6 have the same connectors. The only problem I could think of is if you have really high data transfer ratesbut this may not be rated for CAT6 speeds but it should still work.

please let us know if it works out. i need to get an ethernet adapter too.Thanks.

All of the ports on this switch are treated the same so it doesn't matter which port comes from your router or which port goes to your other devices, like workstations, etc. Does that answer your question or did you mean which type of wire: Cat 5 or Cat 6?

I used a standard ethernet cable. Plugging one of these to each end allowed a crossover between two computers. I was creating an in-home LAN.

Can I ask what happened when you have phone line coming in and cat 6 going out. I am trying to do the same and want to know your result. I am using Cat6/RJ45 spares to hook up multiple phone lines. Will this work?

I'm not a networking person and I don't know if 6a is something I've never heard of, but Cat6 is recommended I believe. It's what I use.

Mine came with an adapter that lets you plug in a standard ethernet cable. Haven't actually tried it though.

Correct. Set up using an ethernet connection to the router and then unplug and relocate. Does have to be used to extend a separate router and/or modem. The modem needs to be connected to the Cat5e. Hope that helps

Don't understand the question. CAT5 from my modem feeds port #1 on the router which drives all other ports on the router. But all ports are the same therefore you could feed modem to any and use any other port to the rest of you gear, computers, printers, et al. Don't believe these routers accept CAT6.

Yes you can use cat5 with them. They are rated for cat6 though so you can go higher with your cabling.

It will connect a cat5 ethernet to a bnc connecton. I am guessing the cat5 is what you are calling an ip connection.

not sure, but CAT6 all the way has been working for me. the switch thing? not sure. these units are point2point.

It will work over cat-6. The main difference between the two is there is an isolator in cat-6 that reduces crosstalk between the lines, so you get a cleaner signal. I have used my repeater system for years now and it is seamless. Hope this helps!

@ T. Vanlienden... Yes, this is exactly what I use mine for. One must keep in mind however, that this is a USB 2 and therefor the speeds are not going to be like a pure ethernet connection. As long as you're OK with the slower speed, this should work just fine for you. Hope this helps...

No. This is an ethernet to USB device, and not at all wireless. Ethernet will use a standard CAT5 cable.

I don't know. I connected a CAT5 cable to my device as part of my install and didn't test the HDMI cable for ethernet. The cable does a great job with video and audio. The HDMI specification states that it will transfer data up to 100 mb/sec, so you could give it a try.

from the research that I did, it certainly looks like that. The same tools can be found in a different kit on amazon.com for both Cat5 and Cat6.
