Can I use Cat 6 also with these?

I haven't installed it yet, but my understanding is that cat6 shares the same connector and number of wires as cat7 and cat5, and that is the important part. Main difference is thickness and arrangement of the cable itself, and cat7 is shielded by default which is the main reason I switched all my cables.

I do not see any reason you couldn't use it. Cat 6 is just a higher speed cable because it has more twists. Cat 5&6 use the same rj45 connector. They also have the same amount of conductors.

no hay ningun problema al usarlo con cat6, ademas este tipo de cable funciona muy bien en instalaciones con distancias largas.

I have no idea - I just plugged them in and connected cat 5 cables. However for them to work correctly they both must be used on the same breaker (from what I read)

The cat six cable is slightly bigger it might be difficult to get the cable in the connector I haven't tried it myself

Any Cat6 connector should work fine. I happened to use Cable Matters 25-Pack Cat6 RJ45 Keystone Jack in Blue and Keystone Punch-Down Stand and they worked just fine.

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

No. These convert Ethernet to coaxial not coaxial to Ethernet then to power line adapters you'd have too much RF interference from the breaker panel too. The tolerance spectrum for these requires a very clean line. I use cat6 at 485 feet and that works well

Probably not. This uses passive POE which is basically just routing the power you supply to it through the unused pairs on the Cat-5. Active POE, as from your switch, uses some intelligence to direct a specific voltage down the line. The two aren't compatible. I'm not sure if your switch will have some kind of fallback mode where it'll push voltage down the lines by default but I don't think it would.

Yes, you can use Cat 5 cable with a Cat 6 connector. The category classification refers to the quality of the cable. The higher the number, the higher the bandwidth the cable is rated at. Cat 5 is for rated for 100 MHz and Cat 6 is rated for 200 MHz. All you're doing is using a higher grade connector with a lower grade cable. The color code and AWG is the same for Cat 5 and Cat 6.

It should, Cat 6 should have 8 wires like Cat 5 also. It uses an RJ 45 connector I think.

Absolutely. The connectors are the same; the only difference is that Cat6 cables are better shielded from interference.

Cat 5 is fine...they work great..if u need to bnc...just get the adapters. Fyi... Revo's people are excellent..

yes you have to put your own ends on and use the straight through design connections the premade cables wont work. Put your own ends on i used the EX-RJ45 from amazon they allow you to push the wire out the end so you can double check position of color code wire . The main difference between 5 and 6 is wire size i have 8 cat5s it carries both power and sound but since i didn't use the sound on some it gave me an extra video connection I used the 2.5 power adapters to make a power tee connection this saved me from running extra cat5

Cat 6 cable will work fine. Not 100 percent sure on the maximum for this system but i think i read up to 190 ft on the PoE.

Yes. These will make your existing CAT5 connection between 2 rooms serve one Ethernet connection (RJ45, 2p) and two phone connections (RJ11, 1p each).

I believe the only difference between CAT5 and CAT6 is the cable. The connector does plug on both sides so you don't have to wire it.

It cannot be used through a network switch. The cat 5/6 has to be directly attached the unit.

Absolutely. The unit allows a RJ11 and a RJ45 in and out at each end. If you have cat5 all you need is to terminate each end with RJ45 and plug in the connectors. If the cat5 is terminated, just plug the adaptors on and your ready to go. Then run your standard RJ11 phone lines / equipment using the connectors.
