can i use these cables instead of Cat5 ones?

Yes these cables are backwards compatible. It will depend on what you what you are connecting them to take full advantage of their potential.

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.

Should work fine. The only difference is cat5e will work up to 1 gigabit system and cat6 will work up to 10 gigabit system. They both connect the same way.

Y es, you can. Its the same 3.0 cable. Be sure its 3.0 and not a 2.0 cable.

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

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

Should not make any difference for the NetGear router as cat5 goes to 100 MHz without any problem. I would be certain to use quality cat5 cable as there can be some differences, although there isn't supposed to be.

yes you have to put your own ends on and use the straight through design connections the premade cables wont work. Put your own ends on i used the EX-RJ45 from amazon they allow you to push the wire out the end so you can double check position of color code wire . The main difference between 5 and 6 is wire size i have 8 cat5s it carries both power and sound but since i didn't use the sound on some it gave me an extra video connection I used the 2.5 power adapters to make a power tee connection this saved me from running extra cat5

They have pre-assembled connectors on both ends, so it's hard to tell. However, it should be within cat5e specification, and I have run POE devices over it without any problems so far. If I have occasion to cut any of the ends off I will let you know what I find...

They might. However, even if they fit, if you use them on Cat6 cable, the cables won't be Gigabit rated. Cat5e is more than capable of reaching Gigabit speeds, but it isn't rated for it and was introduced before the standard was introduced, hence the introduction of Cat6. If you're going to the extra expense of buying bulk Cat6 cable, I'd spend the extra couple of bucks to get the Cat6 connectors.

They are interchangeable, but comparison is complex. See http://www.ehow.com/info_8701254_cat5e-vs-rj45.html for complete explanation. [CAT5e is going to be phased out, CAT6]

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.

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.

these are standard security camera cables. they work on all low end camera systems. if you have h-d cameras that use cat 5 cable then no these will not work. if your cameras have I push on for power and a twist and lock for signal then yes.

You would have to use both connectors, one at each end of the cat 5, to split the line into RJ45 Ethernet and RJ11 phone line, but you don't have to use the Ethernet side if you don't need it.

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

The length might work (best to measure) but buy a different cable, as this one is junk (not CAT5 inside)
