Will these clips be usable on Cat6 cable? The average diameter of Cat6 is 0.21 to 0.25 inch (5.3 to 5.8 mm). (Paul Kish NORDX/CDT)

Cat6 cable is a bit loose in these clips, but I don't think you're going to find anything better, at least not anything with screws. I used electrical tape to thicken up the spot where I was using the clip and that worked well. I don't think you even need to do it for every clip, just every couple to tighten up the slack and prevent it from pulling through.

Yes. The diameter of cat5 cable is just a but smaller than coax. Might be a tad loose but still provide support.

It works perfectly fine with Cat 6 (mine was Cat6 plenum). I used this throughout my home three months ago, all connections tested correctly, and I haven't seen any issues at all.

I used these, from Amazon... 5 Pcs 24AWG JST XH2.54 2 Pin Connector Plug Wire Cable 20cm Length. worked fine.

the widest part of the pinhole is at best 3/8" wide. I can imagine a Cat6 and a thin power cable. A 3rd cable with the mentioned combo I don't see possible. No chance for a standard "PC power cable" to fit through that pinhole as an example.

Yes they will - I used the Shaxon cat6 jacks and they snap in just fine... I think I have 10-12 ports populated so far with no issues.

These are a one-piece plastic connector into which you will insert an 8-wire (partially stripped) cat5 or cat6 wire and then crimp in place with an appropriate tool. Note these are not the type of connectors where the 8 thin wires are pushed all the way through (for easy color verification) and then clipped from the front; those connectors (and esp. the tool) are more costly.

I use these for a cat 5e and cat5 project. I added a boot onto the connector and they work flawlessly making a good solid connection each time. I had no complaints from the customer. I will certainly buy them again when I run out my current set. by the way some of the devices were Poe.

Hello Alfreda Robb,This cable will work. Cat6 is backwards compatible with Cat5e.Please let me know if you have any further questions.Thank you,Taylor W.VIVO

The question is will it crimp rj45 connectors which are used for pretty much every network cable out there, and the only connector you need to worry about. Cat 6 refers only to the actual cable, not the connector. The only difference between cat 5, cat 5e, and cat 6 cable is as you go to 5e and 6, there is more material inside the cable to shield the data wires from outside interference and crosstalk between the wires.

Nothing bigger than #6. I used red & black welding cable - very flexible - about $.50/foot.

Hi. These are only 2 inch clips. We found 4 inch ones on eBay but couldn't find them locally.

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.

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