This is twisted cat 6 wire?

I do not know what kind of wire it is but I do know that it worked in my application...My wifi was so slow (or so feeble) my BD Player could not complete it's on line upgrade. Threading the cable from upstairs (computer) to downstairs (BD player) was a pain but... after the hookup...there was no problem.

Not sure what you mean by twisted but it works fine. I fished it thru walls and duct work and it works great.

Yes. It is quite nice and has worked without issue through two moves. I even damaged it with a door and have not suffered. It is not overly cheap or fragile.

I don't know what twisted cat 6 wire is, however, it is the same wire/cable you would use for connecting internet cable to your computer. it worked very well for me in allowing me to use my laptop upstairs and in other rooms in the apartment.

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

When I ordered my box in August it was cat6. Said so on the box and the wires were marked as such. However I do not recall the description stating cat 5. I am sure if you ordered it and it was wrong Amazon would allow free shipping for the return. One thing to be mindful is that the order may not come with the crimped and ends (mine did not). Nevertheless when I called Amazon to complain they refunded me 20 bucks. Btw my Ethernet run in buried conduit spanned about 110 ft. No issues; everything works great.

Absolutely - it can be used with any cat 5 or cat 6. I love these with the tool since you can see the order of the wires clearly before the crimp. Remember - it is not so important that the order of the wires is ABC, but that both ends are in the SAME order - example: ACB->ACB or CBA->CBA (where the letters are representing the wires) Each wire in the twisted pairs is the same material.

Solid is higher quality wire than stranded. I wouldn't mess with stranded at all. The individual wire in CAT5/6 is so small to begin with, I wouldn't trust stranded.

Hello Joseph, In the product description we mention that the cable is unshielded twisted pure copper. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thank you, Taylor W. VIVO

We have not used indoor Cat6 cable so nothing to compair it to. The outdoor cable is pretty flexible that we just purchased.

I use cat6 at my setup as it is already wired throughout the house. Cat5 should be fine also.

If you are asking if it verifies CAT 6 connections (wire mapping) yes. Verifying correct pin outs is the first step of the total certification process.

Cat6 uses a thicker copper and insulation to help reduce near end cross talk and the staggered ends of the new plugs take this into account as opposed to Cat5e jacks which are flat. Hope this helps :-)

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.

It should be. Basically this is just an ethernet expansion device. It turns one port into eight.

The cable is comprised of 4 twisted pairs (8, copper clad, solid aluminum wires). The wires are NOT solid copper, rather they are copper coated aluminum. In my opinion, this cable is less expensive but inferior to solid copper cable.

It works with a 4 wire, 6 wire, and 8 wire connector. It is still a RJ45 connector for either one, internally the wire's are configured differently. The tool should terminate both. Check this link out. http://www.accesscomms.com.au/reference/cat5&6plugcomparison.htm

Hello, I am not sure about CAT 5 vs. CAT 6...if you tell me how to distinguish the two I will be happy to check it out and get back to you. They do have a connector for both ends of the connections...you can simply plug a patch cable in to either end. Only other thing I would add is that the opening mechanism is pretty stuborn and hard to open sometimes. Seems to be improving with age and use. Darren

Yes, Cat 5e and 6 use similar technology. Plugging either connector on will work. You won't be cat 6 compliant. But yes it will work. Do a quick search on the difference between them (cable size, etc). One important thing to remember is that a gigabit connection uses all 4 pair of wire. So, don't use 1 pair of the wires as a telephone connection as a way to cheat pulling a whole other cable.

Likely not but access to connectors is from bottom... & #8 wire is stiff so bending it 6 of them may be an issue.
