can this be used with CAT6 A cable?

If using CAT6a Plenum ICC Cable 23AWG, the wire will not fit these plugs (tried several different plugs but the wire is too large). Even had another person try to get it to work and they couldn't either. I'm returning the 100pack of these to my supplier and getting the CAT6a/10Gig termination kit instead.

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.

From what I understand A or B cable simply denotes the order of the twisted pairs. Assuming I am correct this tool crimps CAT 6 cable regardless of twisted pairs order.

Absolutely - it can be used with any cat 5 or cat 6. I love these with the tool since you can see the order of the wires clearly before the crimp. Remember - it is not so important that the order of the wires is ABC, but that both ends are in the SAME order - example: ACB->ACB or CBA->CBA (where the letters are representing the wires) Each wire in the twisted pairs is the same material.

I use cat6 at my setup as it is already wired throughout the house. Cat5 should be fine also.

I haven't installed it yet, but my understanding is that cat6 shares the same connector and number of wires as cat7 and cat5, and that is the important part. Main difference is thickness and arrangement of the cable itself, and cat7 is shielded by default which is the main reason I switched all my cables.

Maybe. The cable is rated to 40+ amps with 3 separate 8 gauge wires inside so it is definitely overkill for such a low amp application. You could save a lot of money buying a cable with 12 gauge or even 14 or 16 gauge wire which is more than sufficient for 6.5 amps. The plug on this cable is designed for use on machines that need 208/220 volt power only. If you are unsure about anything you should consult an experienced electrician.

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.

Answer is yes (highly likely that each of your Ethernet cables has the common CAT 5c/RJ45-connector. If not the case (ie cable has non-RJ45-connector that doesn't fit into the coupler, then you'll need to research as to what type the connector (male) is present on each of thecables) and purchase a coupler that's compatible with them.

I used it on a Cat6 project, as a tech and using a Fluke Network analyzer any Cat5, 5e, 6 needs to be within 312' with patch cords or it will fail for legnth. I would agree with the spec chart of this wire when used with a quality system such as Panduit or Leviton patch panel's and jacks.

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.

The cat six cable is slightly bigger it might be difficult to get the cable in the connector I haven't tried it myself

I don't think so - CAT wires are generally smaller AWG (larger diameter). I don't think the wires will punch down correctly/securely. I'd get one designed for CAT5e or at least confirm that your wire AWG is compatible.(Update) Actually, I read the description again - it supports up to 26AWG, so I think you might be okay with CAT5e wire.

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

I don't know why you would. I tried, had no success and had to return them. I got Cat5 cable and it worked immediately whereas the Cat6a didn't even give me a clue that it was even hooked up. The Cat6a is thicker and much less pliable (for going around corners, etc.) and I found that it just wouldn't do.

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

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.

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

Yes, use the 568B. 568A is an older standard. You always want to match your patch panel, Cat5 jacks, and patch cables. In this case 568B.

from the research that I did, it certainly looks like that. The same tools can be found in a different kit on amazon.com for both Cat5 and Cat6.
