can i use this for cat5e

The cat6 I used had a plastic core to help prevent kinks and it clamped around that. I would have to make an end with it and see but I think I made a few connections with cat5 and they held just fine.

Yes this will work for cat5e or any other ethernet cable. You will need platinum's crimping tool made for the EZ connectors that trim the edges.

Yes you can. Here is what I use with a 100' Cat5e to run mine. WS-POE-5v-kit 5 volt power extension for Foscam or any 5 volt camera, via Power over Ethernet, up to 328 ft.

As you may know (hence the question) that every splice or coupling can degrade a signal... some more than others. I have not experienced a need to couple my cat5e nor have I heard of anyone else having the need. So I cannot tell you if a cat5e coupling will create an issue. I do know that I have had to wiggle the HDMI connections at the extender periodically when I lose a signal. The cat5e connections have been holding up. Cat5e jumper cables are abundant because of so many connections (or couplings). If you have a quality coupling you should have good luck with your signal... in my opinion.

Yes you can. If you still want to connect a computer to the cat5 cable be aware using this will drop the speed from 1gb to 100mb

It is just like any other CAT5e and should be fine. I have had no issues with it and tried my PS3 on it with no problems.

The Gigabit Standard IEEE 802.3 was designed with plain Cat5 in mind. Regular Cat5 will work especially with short distances but may have issues at longer lengths. Cat5E has enhanced crosstalk elimination and may be better at longer lengths (80 to 100 meters). All that being said, we recommend CAT6 for new installs as a future proofing for 10Gig.

You can use either grade of cable. I have CAT5e connecting my modem to my router and used CAT6 cables when connecting from the router to the Linksys 5-port unit. The modem-router connections are much older than the 5-port, which was done this spring.

No. Cat5e/6/7 use more than one pair of wires for transmitting and receiving data, coax is only two conductors. This is a passive device and you would need a way to convert the signal from one form to another for it to work for internet over coax, which is usually called MoCA. Google 'MoCA' and you'll find a lot of info. Actiontec, TrendNet and other companies make these. You may also be able to use an Ethernet over Powerline device.

CAT 5e will support gigabit speeds but CAT 6 is certainly better. CAT 6 has better shielding and supports higher transmissions speeds especially over longer distances. Check this out. http://www.broadbandutopia.com/caandcaco.html

Hi Zack. If you're referring to a CAT 5 cable, yes, you can. The router has 4 Ethernet ports which will allow you to hardwire four (4) wired computers/devices. You may also connect up to 32 wireless devices.

Yes. Will work for Cat3. Both Cat3 and Car5 use the same number of wires and same gauge.

No. This model has a 25 pin serial connection that requires a null modem cable to connect to a 9 pin serial port or an adapter that takes the 25 pin serial to an RJ45 connection for a cat5 patch cable to plug into.

The installation manual recommends Cat5, but according to this link (www.fixya.com/search/p1383259-netgear_fs105_5port_ethernet_switch/cat_des) Cat6 will also work with the FS105 switch.

Yes, but you'll only get gigabit speeds (i.e. Cat5e speeds), and the shielding will not be grounded.

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.

I use UTP Cat5e, and respect to the distance I don't have idea how much long distance of wire can it support

Not particularly make sure your cables are cat5e at the least and that your internet speed is running okay
