| Cat6 24AWG UTP Ethernet Network Patch Cable, 14ft Orange | | | Question: What's the difference between Cat 5, Cat 5e and Cat 6? Can I use one in place of another? | Answer: The difference is in the bandwith ratings. Cat 5e has a higher bandwidth than Cat 5. Cat 6 has a higher rating than Cat 5e.
They all use RJ45 connectors and are usually interchangeable depending on the bandwidth requirements of your devices. | | Question: What's the difference between UTP and STP? Are these cables shielded? | Answer: UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pairs.
STP stands for Shielded Twisted Pairs.
The ethernet standard uses data packet transmission and error correction. Unlike streaming data transmission, this standard simply buffers and repeats until it has a complete instruction set which compensates data transmission errors.
Since UTP was cheaper in the beginning, it generally became the standard. If you are using the cables for ethernet connections, either should work. If you are using for a stream data system like video tranmission, the shielded should be used. | | Question: Is this cable solid or stranded? | | Answer: Stranded. | | Question: Are these cables Power over Ethernet (POE) and Voice Over IP (VOIP) compliant. | | Answer: Yes, our network cables are made to the highest standards and will support all current and emerging new technologies. | | Question: Are these cables rated for in-wall, risers, plenum? | | Answer: These cables are CM rated for in-wall use. They are not rated for risers or plenum. | | Question: What is Plenum? Do I need it? | Answer: Plenum refers to the plenum crawl spaces found above the ceilings of commercial office building. Unless your installation is in a commercial office space, you do not need plenum. Residential applications usually do not require Plenum.
Plenum cables are designed not to produce toxic gases when they are burned. The logic behind this is that in an office building, if a fire broke out in one part of a building, people in other parts of the building may not be aware of the danger but toxic gases being circulated by the air circulation system could knock these people out. | | Question: What is Plenum?

Section 5.3 of TIA-568-C.2 requires compliance with ANSI/ICEA SS-90-661-2006 and ANSI/ICEA S-102-732, which both include the following: "Solid conductors shall consist of commercially pure, annealed, bare copper ..."

The problem is that some manufacturer's cut costs by using Copper Clad Aluminum wire for their conductors. The aluminum has a higher resistance, which causes more heat and can thereby present a fire hazard. "Bare copper" is the term used in the National Electrical Code, Underwriters Laboratories, and the Communications Cable and Connectivity Association (CCCA). Our use of the term is intended to communicate our total compliance with their standards for Ethernet cable construction.

| | 14FT 24AWG Cat6 550MHz UTP Ethernet Bare Copper Network Cable - Orange |  Pros: Works well.
Cons: None thus far.
Had this cable in operation for about two weeks now and have experienced no issues at all with it. Connectors are nice and snug and shielding is adequate (running this next to some power cables).

| | Had to throw it away. | Pros: It's a cable, and it's colored, and it plugs into an RJ-45 socket. It can at least hit 100mbps.
Cons: This cable, for me, did not negotiate 1GBPS. It refuses to negotiate anything above 100mbps. I've tried three routers, and 2 PS3s, a PS4, 2 desktop PCs, a third NIC, 3 Macbooks, and still no gig. I had to switch back to my Cat6 cable I ordered from LinkWord via NewEgg.

| | CAT6 patch cables | Pros: High quality cable
Cons: No flex boot in 14' orange
I have been using Monoprice CAT6 cables for a while. The quality is great and the price can't be beat. The only down side I can point to (and it's a nit pick really) is that the 14' orange doesn't come in a flex boot option. I recommend getting the flex boot option and their cables - in my experience the flexboot makes it easier to remove the cable.

| | Cat 6 cables | Pros: Cables seem to work just fine and the value was excellent
Cons: None
The cables seems to work, I did not see the increased speed of Cat 6 over Cat 5, hard to measure
