They are listed as CAT6 product, but is there a difference for keystone jacks btw cat5 and 6? Can i use them for cat5?

Yes you can use cat5 with them. They are rated for cat6 though so you can go higher with your cabling.

Mine look like this but mine came with CAT6 crimper and Ethernet cable heads. This one seems to be a CAT5e though.

I cant recall if cables came with them, but if so they were way too short to be of practical use. You can use any standard off the shelf cat5, cat6, etc. Ethernet cables with rj45 connectors.

I would advise against it, as this particular product is CCA wiring. That means copper clad aluminum. It is not solid copper. That means degraded performance and not true Cat5e. This is especially a problem as you get closer to the range limit of true Cat5e (100M or 328ft). I would look for Cat5e that is advertised as solid copper and UL Verified for professional use (Using CCA in a commercial setting would be considered highly unprofessional). If you are using this for your home, it is your choice but I still don't recommend it. I would also like to add if you still really, really want to use CCA you can find it cheaper than this (about $40). Solid copper Cat5e costs about $75-$80, making this particular CCA cable an even worse choice because you're not even saving any money.

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.

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

Likely yes, but : "...that's wired with cat6 if" what? I don't think your whole question made it into the post.

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...

These fit any standard CAT6 or CAT5(e) 8-conductor cable. I use them with solid core conductors.

I believe I read somewhere that they use a proprietary protocol and so they are NOT routable through standard ethernet equipment. Basically, they're using Cat 6 because it's a standardized cabling method that is designed to carry data and is readily available in various lengths. Hope that helps!

The information sheet had a different (than normal telephone) order for the colored wires. But it does not really matter as long as both ends are the same it is just a pass through. I have two cat 6 cables and it worked fine.

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.

Google them. Each will carry different speeds. Cat6 is the fastest so if you are running at Cat6 speed and use a Cat5e the speed will be reduced. Cat6 is relatively new so I doubt you are running at that speed so it will probably work ok.

Bryce, all these cables are a little different in their specs. But, they all will do the job. The older cable Cat5 is the slowest, the Cat 5e is faster, but of little difference, if you are not noticing any lag while moving files on your network or internet. The Cat 6 is the modern stuff (faster, less inference, etc), if you can afford to use it, that's the way to go. But, for normal work any one of these will do the job, and only if your doing a completely new wiring of a house or business should you think of getting the Cat 6. Of course, if your having any problems with anything wired, I would go for the newer Cat 6. Bryce, all these cables are a little different in their specs. But, they all will do the job.

Yes. CAT6 are delicate, but should work fine as long as you work carefully.

I would say no, because cat 6 cable is a little thicket than cat5 connector.

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.
