Is this safe to use in panels that require CAT III protection? The one I received in mail is different from the one pictured (mine says only CAT II)?

The table showing catxx's and voltages on this site may help.http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5019/en/

Same thing happened to me. I honestly stopped using this multi pen for the same reason your questioning, & the sensitivity level indicating if a line is hot or not is iffy! I'm sticking to the multimeter I received from school, it's an "Ideal" & I trust it's CAT rating and accuracy

The exact model is on a sticker well inside the unit and believe it or not the number is not listed in the Owners manual. I didn't have time to open it up before leaving for work this morning but I'll look tonight and if someone else hasn't already given you the answer, I'll answer it then.Well, I took the outside cover and the inside protection cover off and did not see either of the numbers that you gave. However, there is a rather large Disconnect Switch right there in front of the box on the right hand side. So the switch that came with mine definitely has the service disconnect installed in it. Let me know if you want me to email you a picture. The exact model is on a sticker well inside the unit and believe it or not the number is not listed in the Owners manual.

I'm not an installer, but here's my thought . . . RG6 cable is run outside quite a bit, but it has thicker insulation and the 18-gauge wire conductor is well protected. Cat 5/6 cable is specifically inside wall wire (plenum rated if near air ducts) has 8 thin wires that you want protected from animals/vermins, and it has thinner insulation that will turn brittle by UV rays in hot Georgia summers, and lots of expansion/contraction. It will work OK until it doesn't --- if the Cat 5/6 wiring is permanent for you or the next home owner, treat it like electrical and protect it in EMT metal or vinyl tubing.

Am a little technically challenged but I think first choice would be to run cat-5 cable, second would be the adapter (as long as the room holding the adapter is on the same electrical panel and third would be the extender.

We used to keep one on low in the garage for one of our cats. We didn't have any problems with it, but I would definately check for hot spots and any fire hazards.

When I ordered my box in August it was cat6. Said so on the box and the wires were marked as such. However I do not recall the description stating cat 5. I am sure if you ordered it and it was wrong Amazon would allow free shipping for the return. One thing to be mindful is that the order may not come with the crimped and ends (mine did not). Nevertheless when I called Amazon to complain they refunded me 20 bucks. Btw my Ethernet run in buried conduit spanned about 110 ft. No issues; everything works great.

No problems on my set up, I have one on the main panel and two on a sub panel, no noted differences

I merely protect the surface of the panels from scratching, by housing the panels in the cardboard box it was shipped in. The panel surfaces fold outward, rather than inward, hence vulnerable to scratches. I have not done anything to protect them from an environmentally-induced current.

Contact manufacture of your panels on what the output of both panels would be relative to your Volt/Amp requirements. It has been many years since I used Ohm's law! Good luck! (my connectors are still in the bag, as I had the same question,I received no response when I made my inquiry)

I just checked mine that I purchased here from Cable-mix and fulfilled by Amazon. I thought originally it was solid copper, but after scraping the cable with a razor there was a silver color underneath the copper. I've used this to install six IP cameras that have power over Ethernet and have not had any issues..Hope this helps, Jay & ChrisP.S. I agree with the guy that said it is difficult to tell because it is a very heavy or thick coating of copper.:-)

Hi, I was reading the contents of the box and it says gigabit ethernet card/ low profile bracket/ etc. I am thinking and I hope this helps. I think the low profile bracket was in addition to another bracket. I ordered this a year ago and it is going strong as I am here typing. When I looked in the box there was a bracket in the box so I am assuming that when it is sent out it has 2, low profile and regular.

The "old" wire (red, green, black, yellow) will not punch down and is not cat3. Cat3 is typically 4 twisted pair (8 coductors) and is basically cat5 without the same mhz raiting as cat5. Cat3, which I don't believe you have is rated for voice/fax use only. If you want to use this punch down block (or any 110 or 66 block) you have to splice some newer cat3 or cat5 tails on your existing 2pr and then punch down on block. This is what I had to do in my house. BTW, the 550 block is a great product!

I was wondering the same question, and did think about your answer too, and I realised this has to be the case, even though I haven't received the enclosure yet, it doesn't look like it has a power input. So I take it that I can safely buy any eSata cable...

Agree on that. I ordered 2 colored, cert Cat2 cables for less than $5 each, plus USPS shipping. Rated for the highest speeds specified for 1.3 HDMI. Cables are shipped out of southern CA.

This is in the Product Description: Please note this is "commercial grade" Cat6 style cable made from pure copper, it is NOT CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum).It didn't not appear to be CCA when i used it

Hi. You would just need to drape it over the areas that you do not want the cat on. Just make sure that you understand that the unit will shock you as well if you come in contact with it.Thank you!

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.
