I need to wire two cat 6 sockets, each in a different room, so that a switch connected to each, via patch cables, can communicate. What cabling standard should I use: 1) T-568A at both ends? 2) T-568A at one end and T-568B at the other? 3) Some completely different standard and which? The diagram … Read more
There are keystone jacks that I can purchase for $15AUD, and others for $4. Both advertise CAT6 support. This isn’t a 5e vs 6 discussion, purely the advertised price of two CAT6 keystones. Are there measurable differences between the two? Answer The differences between the two jacks are mainly in their relative build quality. They … Read more
I have an existing Cat6 panel with Cat6 600MHz UTP cable spliced into it. I’d like to know if I can splice Cat6A cable into the same panel? Or would I have to buy a separate Cat6A panel? Answer In CAT6 the conductors might be a different wire gauge than found in CAT6a, so you … Read more
I have a patch panel with the following female/female CAT6 RJ45 snap-in connectors in my cabinet: It basically serves as a pass-through for the cables at the front to the cables at the back and vice-versa. The problem is, these connectors are extremely fragile, and if I want to connect two cables at the back … Read more
I currently know of three different wiring patterns for RJ45: T568A, T568B, and USOC. Simply put: Which is the best method for creating a Cat6 cable? From my research, it seems like I should use T568B, however I am not aware of any advantages for doing so. Is the “recommended standard” even on my (tiny) … Read more
I`m trying to figure out more information about CAT6 UTP cable in order to make a good desicion on what to purchase. What is the max resistance in Ohm per 100 meter as defined in the standard? Also, which standard defines CAT6? I have the following options for inner conductor size (0,57mm or 0,51mm) both … Read more
like for example: does the green wire mean something in a Cat6/Cat5e cable? Answer The Cat5e/Cat6/Cat7 cables are colored differently, because a technician for example should know how correctly set the connectors on the cable. Imagine if you have to put a connector on 30m cable, when the cords inside are with the same color? … Read more
