Will this work with cat 5E cables too?

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

Yes the cable will for sure fit. You could get 1 (or maybe 2) cat5 cables to fit. The connector plugs might not fit through the tube, but that doesn't matter since the tubes are open on the sides to allow for any cable to slip through the side instead of feeding it through the ends.

Chances are you are using a CAT5 Ethernet cable which will not work. It is very easy to confuse the two. Order an RJ45 and you'll be ready to rock!

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.

You can use either. I use cat 5 with video baluns and power adapter (pig tails) wired to the cat 5.

They are interchangeable, but comparison is complex. See http://www.ehow.com/info_8701254_cat5e-vs-rj45.html for complete explanation. [CAT5e is going to be phased out, CAT6]

It should, but you can def. have performance loss when using a coupler with cat5 in general.

I think you mean cat 5 cable..if so you would need to buy rca twist conn. plus power conn. and splice them in ..I think by the time you do all that it would be much simpler and just as cheap to buy the pre made cables on amazon...100' with the connectors on both sides are about 14.00...u can also buy 25', 60' & 150' ...reasonably priced ..........also u can find the connectors for the cat 5 on amazon too...

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

I haven't disassembled the cable, but it does seem stiffer than Cat 5 cable, I think because of the plastic part in the middle that separates the wires. Yes, it works fine for a gigabit connection.

power is run thru cat 5 connection, but you may need power supply depending on length of cable

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.

They have pre-assembled connectors on both ends, so it's hard to tell. However, it should be within cat5e specification, and I have run POE devices over it without any problems so far. If I have occasion to cut any of the ends off I will let you know what I find...

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

Cat 6 will work just fine. Cat5e will also work per IEEE specifications, however, I always use Cat6 and have not had any issues. This switch is working fine for me so far.

Hi Donald, Cat 5e cable should be capable of supporting 1000BASE-T (Gigabit) connections. Unless you've got incredibly easy runs to replace and money to burn, you'd probably be better off keeping the existing cable.

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.
