| 440318 | 2006-03-24 04:35:00 | Hi, Just a few questions to ask about straight Cat 5e and Cat6 cables. Would it be ideal to install using Cat5e or Cat6. I've got a number of cat5e cables at the moment, and unsure whether this could be a waste of time if in another few years I need to move to Cat 6? I've noticed that Cat6 cables are already pre-assembled, and I would to know if you can make your own (like cat5) without any fuss, cause I am not sure if they use the same connectors, like RJ45s and are easy to install too? |
