How can this be CAT6? Being in a flat orientation doesn't have the same noise/crosstalk resistance that cat6 calls for.....?

It seems to work quite well I use it for a slingbox.it requires a good connection, it works well

It is labeled on Amazon as UTP, unshielded twisted pair. Very close examination of the cable image shows what looks like a weaving or braiding texture of the outer sheath. These are actually regular slight bumps underneath the sheath where the copper appears to twist, as a twisted pair should, underneath the sheath. The twisting could provide the noise/crosstalk resistance. The cable itself is labeled as "CAT.6 FLAT CABLE" along its length.This all indicates it is indeed compliant with CAT6 specifications, and is actual twisted pair despite it being essentially flat.

To be honest, I never paid attention to the noise. My equipment is all in a rack inside a closet. The loudest piece of equipment is not the Synology. Loudest piece is my Netgear 24 Port Ethernet Switch.

Yes. CAT6 are delicate, but should work fine as long as you work carefully.

I have a huge system with many, may cables. I can't remember if this ones does or not support sound to honest. If it is one that also has the Ethernet cable in it, it is one that supports sound. I have both on my system and the whole stack is in a cabinet so I can't just look and see. I suggest you ask the seller if it is a 'Dual Cable.'

CAT5 has 4 twisted pairs. They are twisted because of the interference or crosstalk between the wires. You might benefit from swapping some of the wires around. Likely, though, you would benefit from the shielding of RG59 or RG6 cable. Good luck if you haven't already figured it out.

All cables can be shielded or unshielded, unless the spec specifically requires it. As C. Weaver said, CAT 6 is usually shielded, but not always. Look for the designation "STP" which stands for "Shielded Twisted Pair".

It will work over cat-6. The main difference between the two is there is an isolator in cat-6 that reduces crosstalk between the lines, so you get a cleaner signal. I have used my repeater system for years now and it is seamless. Hope this helps!

Hi. The Cat 6 cable is thicker that cat 5. If you use a flat inset will not fit inside a standard end Because the cable it self use almost all space. They staggered for the cables to fit. Also i like it a lot that way because all solid color cables are on the back and the two-color cables are on top. Really easy to spot a bad placing.

I would say no, because cat 6 cable is a little thicket than cat5 connector.

I've used Cat6 and I'm getting 10GB with no problems. Note that I'm use 3 ft cables. Can't say if there would be problems with longer runs.

Please look for an ethernet switch, 5 port switches run about what the prerequsite 2 of these cost, and they are better for what anyone needs this for. this is an artifact from when switches costs 3 times what they cost now.

I'm not a networking person and I don't know if 6a is something I've never heard of, but Cat6 is recommended I believe. It's what I use.

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 just used it for a project where we covered 160,000 square feet to connect the Access Points. I didn't need to use CAT 6A of course but I wanted to "future proof" the building by having this running through it now. It's running with fantastic speeds right now. I would say the only negative is that it's a little difficult to terminate the ends but I believe that's just CAT 6A in general. I hope that helps!

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!

I believe the only difference between CAT5 and CAT6 is the cable. The connector does plug on both sides so you don't have to wire it.

I have not had any noise problems from any of the three computers I have connected to the KVM. Impressive considering I have been sloppy about cable routing and cable quality. Works well with a mix of Macs and Windows 7/8 computers.
