Is this really Cat6A cable? From the images the twist rate seems low for augmented cat6 and there is no separator between the pairs.

Unsure about the proper twist rate. A true cat6A is supposed to have a separator. This one does not. I do believe the wire size is correct.

I am no expert on this, however, I have not seen a Cat6A SSTP cable WITH a separator. You are probably thinking of either Cat6A unshielded or Cat6A with only a single shield wrapped around all the pairs. This is Cat6A with shielding around each individual pair AND shielding around all the pairs as a group.

Cat5 (and Cat5E) vs. Cat6. Cat6 is a later type of E-net cable specification capable of higher data rates (Gigabit) with less crosstalk interference. Simply, if you are cabling an Ethernet connection the Cat6 would offer a network theoretically "faster" with less noise. Fine IF all components and connections are also rated as Cat6. Otherwise the network would operate at a level equal to the lowest rated component. Lots of tech. details available that mostly would leave you with either terminal drowsiness or a colossal headache.If you are simply connecting home components you really don't need Cat6 (which has a higher price tag). Cat5 or Cat5E should work just fine. Cat5 (and Cat5E) vs. Cat6. Cat6 is a later type of E-net cable specification capable of higher data rates (Gigabit) with less crosstalk interference.

It appears to be an error. The corresponding monoprice product is indeed an ethernet cable, I'd assume the amazon pictures are wrong. Or the description is wrong. Or they copied and pasted the wrong product name.EDIT:The price suggests it's supposed to be the HDMI cable and they copied the wrong product name.

Depending on your network capabilities. Cat 6 can handle up to 10 Gigabit but only reaches 160 ft until it goes back to Cat 5 speed of 1 Gigabit. Beyond the speed/distance factor, Cat 6 has a tighter twist in the cables, which allows for two-way communication on each pair of wires, where Cat 5 does not allow this feature. We have noticed that in certifying our cable installations, Cat 5 cable has a tendency to have a higher delay and skew than Cat 6 cable. That means that even though both Cat 5 and Cat 6 can do 1 Gigabit networks, Cat 5 may have a longer delay for the signal to get from one side to the other, which will give the appearance that it runs slower.

I never had a cable fail to work perform properly with a standard crimper. 1) Insert wires through 2) cut flush with utility knife 3) pull back wire 1/64" 4) crimp. I don't buy these for speed. I buy them because I can verify the wire order so much easier. BTW I have not used these with Cat6 yet.

Hello John,I like Salt Miner's answer.I would say, the cable meets the performance specifications of Cat5e using CCA. Thank you for your question.Sincerely,Taylor W.VIVO

The information sheet had a different (than normal telephone) order for the colored wires. But it does not really matter as long as both ends are the same it is just a pass through. I have two cat 6 cables and it worked fine.

If you use a Crossover, then you'll need a crossover on the other end as well. it runs over cat6 but is not being transferred as Ethernet. On each end the pin order must match.

Google them. Each will carry different speeds. Cat6 is the fastest so if you are running at Cat6 speed and use a Cat5e the speed will be reduced. Cat6 is relatively new so I doubt you are running at that speed so it will probably work ok.

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 :-)

Cable I received has cat6 24awg 4pairs printed on the cable. Different batches can use different cable but I would guess they print on all the cables.

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.

This is a 1 piece design. Please note that even though it states that it is for CAT6, it is not really meant for CAT6. It will probably work in a CAT6 system at lower speeds. But if you have a need for max CAT6 speed, this connector will probably not test out to spec. Please see my review on 1/7/14. Also, I have used a number of these connectors in a CAT5e setup, with no problems. If you are building cables, especially long runs, I would recommend getting a cable tester for less that $10 at amazon. They carry a couple of brands. See my review on one of them. If you are building your own cables, or doing repairs, you should also buy boots for the cable ends. Slide the boot on first, then install the cable connector end as normal.

They indicate it to be "High Speed" which would mean 10.2 Gbps (Gigabits per second). And it says it can also support Ethernet. Now it does not say how big the wires are (which is the size of the pipe) from which we can determine its maximum length to achieve 10Gbps. But given that is only 6 Ft, it is well within its range of capabilities, this is an assumption.Bottom line is, I like these cables, they work, I don't see anything weird in my video, the sound is good, it is cheap. I have no complaints.

Hi. The Cat 6 cable is thicker that cat 5. If you use a flat inset will not fit inside a standard end Because the cable it self use almost all space. They staggered for the cables to fit. Also i like it a lot that way because all solid color cables are on the back and the two-color cables are on top. Really easy to spot a bad placing.

Sorry, but then I don't know the answer to your question. Quite frankly, my understanding of the A & B notation is simply the twisted pair order not the diameter of the cable. I've been doing this for years and this is the first I've ever heard of it. Good luck.

This cable is quite thick, and it is therefore a bit more rigid and less flexible than regular CAT6 cable. That is to be expected, though, with the harder, stronger outer jacket. I've used it, though, both indoors and outdoors and haven't had any real issues. But, if you need to route it snugly around corners that are 90 degrees or less, it would take a bit of effort and might not be as as snug as ordinary, indoor CAT6 cable.
