How flexible is this compared to normal indoor Cat6. Want to use cable entirely for indoor use and terminate in wall plates with Keystone female jack

I'm not sure if a technical way of measuring the flexibility. This stuff is stiff and difficult to terminate. Not to say that you can't do what you are considering, you can; however, if you are a professional installer you would be spending way too much time terminating this over indoor cat6. With that said, I did both; terminated on a wall jack panel and ran straight through the wall with a rubber boot.

It is flexible enough to use indoors. But might be overpriced for what u have in mind. I ran mine through the attic and into one house and then installed a male rj45 male fitting on it. It would be no big deal to have had connected to a female keystone jack or a 66 block. it punches down just fine.

It's pretty flexible and can be used indoors. I've gone through two cases of it doing enterprise wifi AP installs however in my situation I'm going directly into a switch. As for the keystone jacks, you may have to strip them back a bit further if your coming in at a 90 degree angle. The cable seems pretty nice though. I bought it for the outdoor/UV strength.

We have not used indoor Cat6 cable so nothing to compair it to. The outdoor cable is pretty flexible that we just purchased.

More than likely the outer jacket is NOT indoor rated. If there was a fire in the building and the cable caught on fire or became hot enough it could produce toxic gases. I would NOT use this cable indoors.

to be honest it's not easy to terminate,i rather go with something else,but it's easy to pull because of double outside layer.i used it for outside.

It's thicker and somewhat more rigid, sharp 90 degree bends will not be possible. Ok if you can incorporate larger bends into cable runs should be fine. This cable is pretty tough stuff.

not sure, but CAT6 all the way has been working for me. the switch thing? not sure. these units are point2point.

This cable is best suited to be connected between a patch bay and wall female RJ45. I used cat6. For male RJ45 connectors I would not even try.

Hello, I am not sure about CAT 5 vs. CAT 6...if you tell me how to distinguish the two I will be happy to check it out and get back to you. They do have a connector for both ends of the connections...you can simply plug a patch cable in to either end. Only other thing I would add is that the opening mechanism is pretty stuborn and hard to open sometimes. Seems to be improving with age and use. Darren

You can use any CAT5 or CAT6 cable as long as it has RJ-45 connectors... Same as any other ethernet cable.

I used this connector: Cat6a STP Rj45 Shielded Modular Plug - 100 Pieces by VC .It is a bit of a bear to get that wire in these. But it can be done.

I can confirm the Monoprice "5384" CAT6 Punch Down keystone jacks fit just fine in this panel.

I was told to use Cat&a; because you'll have more lenght (100m) but if I'm not wrong Cat6 "should maybe" works, if you don't know get Cat&a; because the price diffrence is not very high if you buy a bunch of cables.

Absolutely. The connectors are the same; the only difference is that Cat6 cables are better shielded from interference.

It would be a very tight fit. Odds are if you're trying to run a cord through the wall you would have to use in-wall rated methods (i.e. set up a new outlet) to be code-compliant which would render this plate irrelevant.

I don't know why you would. I tried, had no success and had to return them. I got Cat5 cable and it worked immediately whereas the Cat6a didn't even give me a clue that it was even hooked up. The Cat6a is thicker and much less pliable (for going around corners, etc.) and I found that it just wouldn't do.

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

i wouldn't advise it as it is VERY tough to terminate , my suggestion however is when you use an underground cable you need to account for 20% extra cable too , because its not so bendable

Im pretty sure you could because CAT5 and 6 have the same connectors. The only problem I could think of is if you have really high data transfer ratesbut this may not be rated for CAT6 speeds but it should still work.

Not the best way to do it. The signal will already be degraded. The PCT needs to be as close to the source of the signal as possible. That being said, It is worth a try. Install it close to the wall jack then to your equipment. The best place is close to where the cable enters the building. It keeps the signal from degrading down the line. . I Have two cable line coming in; one on the second floor. the PCT is hooked up a few feet from the entry wall. It made a fantastic improvement feeding three rooms. The line for the front room is hooked up in the front room after the cable has gone the entire length of the basement and up to the far wall. It definitely helps but it's not perfect.

I would advise against it, as this particular product is CCA wiring. That means copper clad aluminum. It is not solid copper. That means degraded performance and not true Cat5e. This is especially a problem as you get closer to the range limit of true Cat5e (100M or 328ft). I would look for Cat5e that is advertised as solid copper and UL Verified for professional use (Using CCA in a commercial setting would be considered highly unprofessional). If you are using this for your home, it is your choice but I still don't recommend it. I would also like to add if you still really, really want to use CCA you can find it cheaper than this (about $40). Solid copper Cat5e costs about $75-$80, making this particular CCA cable an even worse choice because you're not even saving any money.
