Can this be used for Cat6 wiring?

I've gotten nearly a gigabit transfer rate through this connector using a 60ft run of CAT5-E wiring. But you must wire it correctly and carefully! Full instructions and caveats on how to wire it with the included punch-down tool are in the package.

Haven't used it yet. Hopefully it does because I bought it for cat6 cables Good luck!

not sure, but CAT6 all the way has been working for me. the switch thing? not sure. these units are point2point.

They might. However, even if they fit, if you use them on Cat6 cable, the cables won't be Gigabit rated. Cat5e is more than capable of reaching Gigabit speeds, but it isn't rated for it and was introduced before the standard was introduced, hence the introduction of Cat6. If you're going to the extra expense of buying bulk Cat6 cable, I'd spend the extra couple of bucks to get the Cat6 connectors.

There are no provisions for the shield on this patch panel. If using a shielded cat 6 you will have to come up with some sort of termination for the shield wire from the cables to the isolated ground. No big deal, it's just not included on the panel.

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 used this connector: Cat6a STP Rj45 Shielded Modular Plug - 100 Pieces by VC .It is a bit of a bear to get that wire in these. But it can be done.

All of the ports on this switch are treated the same so it doesn't matter which port comes from your router or which port goes to your other devices, like workstations, etc. Does that answer your question or did you mean which type of wire: Cat 5 or Cat 6?

Probably not. This uses passive POE which is basically just routing the power you supply to it through the unused pairs on the Cat-5. Active POE, as from your switch, uses some intelligence to direct a specific voltage down the line. The two aren't compatible. I'm not sure if your switch will have some kind of fallback mode where it'll push voltage down the lines by default but I don't think it would.

yes this will do what u need the other type is cat 6 which would be a waste for you

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.

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

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.

This foot controller is proprietary to the Line 6 amp line of products. It uses a CAT 5 wire to connect from controller to amp. It doesn't connect with 1/4" patch cables so probably not.

It should work just fine for Cat6. Both Cat5e and Cat6 are wired the same (as far as the terminations are concerned). One is just rated for twice the bandwidth, and therefore faster data transfer if an application can harness the 200MHz bandwidth. That being said, Cat6 is backward compatible with Cat5e, and will work with any rj45 port. The connector might just be a bottleneck in the system, though it is a direct copper link so it shouldn't affect your setup too much, depending on your use. You should know that you will not be able to attain gigabit speeds, as this will limit you to 2 pair for the data connection; whereas gigabit speeds require all 4 pairs in the Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat7 cables.

I am using this product to connect my macbook pro (late 2012) to the typical connecting wire I use with my router ...I sorry I don't know what a cat6 is etc. but internet pix of cat6 look like my "typical connecting wire". thunderbolt to ethernet connector works fine for me and my macbook pro.

Cat5 and Cat6 are different cables. This cable could either be buried (no conduit required) or left on a surface. I would expect that sun exposure would damage the cable more.
