BEST ANSWER: This is generally going to use rj45 cat6 connectors. Most likely the punchdown keystone type as it's meant to be used in the wall. If you really want to use it for patch cables - then https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=7245 will work, but stranded cable is going to work better in general if it's going to need to be bent/moved/reused somewhere else.

Assuming you wanted to maintain the Cat6 nature of the cable (which I can only assume you want to since Cat6 tends to be slightly more expensive than Cat5e), you would want to likely use https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=34414

The cable you're purchasing is a solid cable so you would use item ID 7245 which is for connecting to solid type cable.

The second one. The difference is the material of the inner wire, solid being a single, thick copper wire and stranded being bundled hair-like copper strands. The plugs have to terminate differently in order to catch the wire properly.

You will need this one, https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=7266 Or anyone rated for Cat6. The wire conductor is thicker.

Neither, it is recommended to use Cat6 RJ45 ends. You are dealing with 23AWG (solid) wire vs the 24AWG that you would most likely encounter with Cat5E.

There is no string in this cable but there is a four way divider to keep the pairs separate. It's a plastic insert that looks like a plus if viewed from the end.

I noticed that the orange and orange-white pairs are twisted at a tighter configuration than the other wires. Is there a reason for this? And as a result, would it be preferred to wire this for 568A or 568B configuration.

BEST ANSWER: Pairs are twisted with a different twist rate to help avoid interference from adjacent pairs, this is why each of two pairs have the same twist rate.

Good day. No, it does not matter how tight or loose the wires are twisted as you will need to untwist them anyway in order to terminate the ends. Either 568a or 568b is fine, doesnt matter which one you use as long as the entire environment you're in (home or business network) uses the same configuration throughout. I personally used 568b to wire my house as thats the most widely used method in the industry.

What is the OD of this cable? Does it require large diameter RJ45 plugs, or will standard sized ones work?
A shopper
on Jun 13, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question. The OD of the cable will be 6.3mm. Standard plugs may be a very snug fit. Perhaps it would be best for a large diameter plug.

The spec sheet says 23awg on the 1st page and 24awg on the 2nd page. Which is correct, 23 or 24? Also, what is the bend degree or radius for this? Thank you.

Added CAT6 Line in my House
I bought CAT6 cable, end connectors, wall plates and a connector tool. I installed it permanently in my walls and through the attic so I could relocate my router to a more central location in my house.
Everything I ordered came and was as advertised. The tool worked well, the job went well and was successful. Youtube was helpful for tool use.
I don't do this very often but would use Monoprice again without question.

Works great so far.
Right now it works wonderfully. I got some pull-through connectors and it worked the first time. I ran a single wire about 180 feet. If I need more, this ethernet cable will be my first choice.

Great cable
Cable worked wonderfully. Very easy to work with, and very sturdy. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone looking to pull some cable. The box is pretty darn sturdy too which is also a small plus.
