Is your cable shielded ethernet cable Cat 6a SSTP screen shielded twist pair? Copper wire?

not cat6, could not get better than 50Mbps transfer rates, vs 800+Mbps with known cat 5e cable.

Save your money. This isn't real cat6. It's unshielded cat5e, and really terrible rendition of it too.

Don't purchase this cable. This cable is garbage, not even cat5e, shielding crumbles in your hand or pulls right off wire.

Mine is a cat6 24awg twist pair copper wire. It's cheaper than a cat6a but it works great. It's been installed about a year now through the walls and the attic and across the breezeway into the garage attic and down to another wall, and no problem at all.

Was not impressed when I cut this cable to shorten it. VERY loose twist, about 2 twists per foot, not tight enough. Jacket was very soft and pliable, to much so. Compared this jacket to other cable I had and there was a night and day difference. I'm not sure I want to use this cable, but I cut it, so maybe I can recycle it for copper? :) My opinion,,,,,,not worth the price.

Any should do. I ordered one from monoprice.com. They have shielded cables for just a few dollars.

I don't know what twisted cat 6 wire is, however, it is the same wire/cable you would use for connecting internet cable to your computer. it worked very well for me in allowing me to use my laptop upstairs and in other rooms in the apartment.

Hello Joseph, In the product description we mention that the cable is unshielded twisted pure copper. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thank you, Taylor W. VIVO

This is copper clad aluminum... Not quite as high quality. You may want to look at the Ethernet standers.. I believe it only goes about 300 ft.

I just checked mine that I purchased here from Cable-mix and fulfilled by Amazon. I thought originally it was solid copper, but after scraping the cable with a razor there was a silver color underneath the copper. I've used this to install six IP cameras that have power over Ethernet and have not had any issues..Hope this helps, Jay & ChrisP.S. I agree with the guy that said it is difficult to tell because it is a very heavy or thick coating of copper.:-)

The cable is CAT 6. It is very durable. I ran it on the top of the ceiling in a warehouse office.

Brian,Good question. Typically (as you probably know) a cable is defined as UTP (un-shielded) or STP (shielded) - but the description of this cable does not indicated this information.To answer you questions - I did a visual inspection of the cable and I am not able to determine if the cable is shielded or not (likely not shielded)So - I recommend you shop for a cable that specifically says it is shielded.

I believe I read somewhere that they use a proprietary protocol and so they are NOT routable through standard ethernet equipment. Basically, they're using Cat 6 because it's a standardized cabling method that is designed to carry data and is readily available in various lengths. Hope that helps!

Yes, I am using it over shielded cat 6. However anything that will work over cat 5 will work over cat 6. the wiring pin out on both is the same. The primary difference between cat 5 and 6 is shielding and other standards to allow longer data line runs.

you can use a cat6 cable up to 750 and it will work also you need a Balun. converts from copper to BNC. the cat6 cable has 8 copper cable so it provides power video data.

from the research that I did, it certainly looks like that. The same tools can be found in a different kit on amazon.com for both Cat5 and Cat6.

I am using this product to connect my macbook pro (late 2012) to the typical connecting wire I use with my router ...I sorry I don't know what a cat6 is etc. but internet pix of cat6 look like my "typical connecting wire". thunderbolt to ethernet connector works fine for me and my macbook pro.

yes. the picture is wrong, the probe has rj45 (not rj11) port in it and the two units together will test each of the 8 conductors on the ethernet cable for shorts, opens, and correct order.

Yes it will work with Cat6a cables. The wiring at the plug/jack is the same for all Cat-5 and -6 cables, the differences are in the manufacturing of the cable itself, twists per foot, insulating media, etc., not in the termination at the jack/plug.

The cat6 I used had a plastic core to help prevent kinks and it clamped around that. I would have to make an end with it and see but I think I made a few connections with cat5 and they held just fine.

I use a cat 5e cabling, It works just fine for me. I have never heard of Cat 6: is it even out there yet?
