Can I use this with cat7 cables?

The description has the following listed: "Compliant with EIA/TIA Cat6, Draft 11" So I'd assume no.

Only if you have an amplifier at your cable splitter. There seems to be a lot of loss in the baluns & Cat 5 cable.

If it hooks up the same way the Ethernet does, i.e. Ethernet cable, I don't see why not.

Absolutely. The unit allows a RJ11 and a RJ45 in and out at each end. If you have cat5 all you need is to terminate each end with RJ45 and plug in the connectors. If the cat5 is terminated, just plug the adaptors on and your ready to go. Then run your standard RJ11 phone lines / equipment using the connectors.

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.

Hi Zack. If you're referring to a CAT 5 cable, yes, you can. The router has 4 Ethernet ports which will allow you to hardwire four (4) wired computers/devices. You may also connect up to 32 wireless devices.

I have no idea if that would work but I have to ask why would you want to do that? Its a very expensive solution to use the multiport adapter ($77 from amazon) to replace a $20.00 Ethernet switch

no. at times, in older sockets, it wont even recognize the cable input. I wouldn't trust it.

I couldn't say for sure. The use I had in mind for my cable didn't work because of other issues. Good luck!

yes, you can use CAT5 for network printing or printer cable to laptop/PC usb

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.

I hit the enter button too fast, I have a 75 foot run of hard wired feed. I used the RJ45 to hook a fifty fo and a twenty five ft together to run this old computer in the cellar, works OK. However keep in mind that if you use a RJ45 you may not get the full Mhz that the Cat 7 cable can provide and it will lower your speed.CAT-5 is rated to 100 Mhz CAT-5e is rated to 350 MhzCAT-6 and CAT6e is rated to 550 Mhz or 1000 Mhz depending on your source CAT-7 is rated to 700 Mhz or 1000 Mhz

Yes, I am using it over shielded cat 6. However anything that will work over cat 5 will work over cat 6. the wiring pin out on both is the same. The primary difference between cat 5 and 6 is shielding and other standards to allow longer data line runs.

Yes you should be able to do that. Just imagine your electrical wiring as a very long ethernet cable once you have hooked up the powerline adapters.

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

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

I would think you could. We purchased this to connect out desktop computer in our home to a power chair out side as we could not get the power chair into the home to use a shorter cable. It worked fine and we have used it several times this way. In fact we had to use 2 of these cables hooked together to reach from the computer to the chair and it worked great.
