Which scheme is best, 568A or 568B? My cables have TIA/EIA-568B.2 printed on them. Should the port wiring be 568B also?

I would stick to B. ITS your choice what pattern to do. But that has to be consistent throughout your installation.

It doesn't matter which wiring scheme you use... the TIA/EIA568B.2 refers to the standard at which the cable it made to. If you really dig into the speed of 568A versus 568B wiring, there is very little speed difference... the hospital that I do contract work for has their standard wiring at 568A and there has be no known issues with the A wiring... and I have been contracting for them for over 15 yrs.

Yes, use the 568B. 568A is an older standard. You always want to match your patch panel, Cat5 jacks, and patch cables. In this case 568B.

Ideally get rid of all the splitters and use something like this instead "PCT 8 Port Bi-Directional Cable TV Splitter Signal Booster/Amplifier with Active Return Zero Signal Loss and VoIP Telephone Bypass", and power it directly using the power port. Be sure to trace your cable and get rid of any extraneous splitters.

Cable I received has cat6 24awg 4pairs printed on the cable. Different batches can use different cable but I would guess they print on all the cables.

Yes it is. I have installed over a 100 of these units without any problems. You should have 4 switchable POE ports and one non-POE port for up link to your network. Make sure all switches are in the power on mode for each port and you should be good to go. If not, request a return for new product.

Doesn't matter.Doesn' matter, really. Data and signal cables just need a decent connector on each end. Speaker cables are different, you need a fairly wide Guage for that, I prefer 12, but signals, being low voltage, have different concerns, quality terminations, etc

Hi Donald,Cat 5e cable should be capable of supporting 1000BASE-T (Gigabit) connections. Unless you've got incredibly easy runs to replace and money to burn, you'd probably be better off keeping the existing cable.

That is the combination I use & It works fine, even the traffic works as it is supposed to. To be honest, it was the traffic receiver I bought this cable for. I have it permanently in my car, but like to use the 2595LMT in may truck during the winter as well, so I wanted an extra cable. Not cheap, but does maintain the full functionality of the 2595LMT

I used two of the 3WARE Cable, 1 Unit Of 1 Meter Multi-lane Internal (SFF-8087) Serial Ata Breakout cables sold on amazon's site. They keep your cabling neat and have plenty of length to easily plug in hard drives in the largest case sizes. Hope this helps.

I always use 12AWG. I just bought 100' from Ebay that I really like because it is red and black. Get yourself some nice banana plugs too and you'll be hooked up sweet. I got those on Ebay too because the price was much better than anywhere else I looked. The items were all located in the US so shipping was fast. Happy listening! FYI, If you are going to bi-amp your speakers with the TX-NR616 you'll only get a 5.1 surround.

Depends on how long the coax run will be. The higher quality coax the lower the loss. RG58U is the cheapest and RG8X is the better of the two.

Hello John,I like Salt Miner's answer.I would say, the cable meets the performance specifications of Cat5e using CCA. Thank you for your question.Sincerely,Taylor W.VIVO

5e & 6 cables are virtually the same. Same goes for the connectors. Purists would deny this, but unless you are putting in a massive network, you won't really notice it.

Why go to RS when Amazon is cheaper? I can't believe anyone here would suggest going to RS.... Amazon has these, for example:Extreme 3 Way Unbalanced HD Digital 1GHz High Performance Coax Cable Splitter - BDS103HEXTREME 3 WAY BALANCED HD DIGITAL 1GHz HIGH PERFORMANCE COAX CABLE SPLITTER - BDS103HB

The Ethernet is a punchdown connection - - that means you strip off Cat 5e "outer" shielding cable, making sure to have less than 1/2" of UNTWISTED wire exposed to keep within Cat 5e specs - - use the supplied plastic punch down tool to secure all 8 wire connects -- the wire color coding is for 568A, but you can wire for 568B as long as BOTH ends are A or B coded. If you don't know what I'm writing, then this is not for you.
