It states only for use with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Cat6 network cable. Why would it not work STP Cat6 cable?

This patch panel's RJ45 terminals do not have metal contacts for shielded patch cables, and doesn't have a ground for incoming STP cables. Expensive STP cable would become UTP cable if terminated at this panel. Keystone or other RJ45 terminals at the other end also must be for STP -- examine male RJ45 connectors, for example, on STP patch cables and you'll see metal contacts for the shielding that make contact with female terminals (examine the female terminals on a switch/router and compare to a UTP terminal like keystone or patch panel which lacks shield metal contacts).

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.

That is why i purchased it, not sure if it was defective, it just worked on one computer and not the other, so i have to move ethernet line to other computer when needed. For the price it may be worth a try.

It will work over cat-6. The main difference between the two is there is an isolator in cat-6 that reduces crosstalk between the lines, so you get a cleaner signal. I have used my repeater system for years now and it is seamless. Hope this helps!

You should be able to plug it into any CAT5 plug. It shouldn't matter since it is on your LAN.

So far I have tested several lengths up to and including 100 feet and it worked fine. The standard CAT5E length for Ethernet of 100 meters is slightly more than 300 feet. If the user wants to wait until Monday for an answer, I think I have a spool longer than that on which I can install ends and test. Meanwhile, I would suggest using a stronger new 9-volt dry cell.

I don't see why not, its just sending a signal down the wire. It does not know the difference between Ethernet, or telephone drop wire or anything else.

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

The short answer is YES. Cat 6 ethernet cable is supported by this switch as both the switch and Cat 6 cabling are capable of gigabit transfers. Either shielded or unshielded Cat 6 should work for you.I have a 5-port version of this switch and I routinely used Cat 6A shielded cables with it. My understanding is that the ports are plastic, but the switch can handle Cat 6 cables just fine. Any shielding on the cabling can be grounded at the opposite end from the switch, so it will still support grounding and shielding if that is what you want to do.I almost bought a second one of this style switch, but I decided that one was enough for my needs. I would buy more if I needed it.Good luck. The short answer is YES. Cat 6 ethernet cable is supported by this switch as both the switch and Cat 6 cabling are capable of gigabit transfers.

Yes. Ethernet is a networking standard so this will work with any DSL/Cable modem. If your modem has a wireless router built in you may want your ISP to replace it with a standard modem.I am using this with an Arris TG862g. Should work fine with any SB6120, 6121, 6140, 6180 etc. If you have an SBG6580, you'll want to have it swapped for a non-wireless modem.Source: I worked for a cable company.

Nope unfortunately ethernet cable isnt up to spec to carry SDI signal. Wont work.

I don't know, but it works fine in my 100' signal application. I'm not drawing power over Ethernet.

I use UTP Cat5e, and respect to the distance I don't have idea how much long distance of wire can it support

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

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.

It works without problems, but if you use a KVM team, otherwise this cable will not work and can use either, but not simultaneously. greetings

I have the HDMI out from my cable box going to my Onkyo receiver, and then from the receiver through the adapter to a projector. Works fine, except for some reason I could not get shielded twisted pair Cat4 to work, only unshielded. I don't know if anyone else has had this problem.

Excellent Question. The Units made by PCCABLES.COM and 2 Pairs Twisted and 2 Pairs Straight thru So POE will work with these. Pin - Out Diagram listed user this Link. http://pccables.com/02236.html
