Startech or Cables Unlimited cat6 plug - which is the easiest to work with?

I have used the start teck and are really easy. The cables unlimited not sure if I have used them. But at leat for cat6 cable I like the star tech over the others I have used.

I read the cables unlimited description and sound like the star tech use the same kind of cable management. You can try the less expensive first

Not the easiest, but the least expensive that worked well. It's not difficult, but I wouldn't say the easiest I have worked with. I would definitely recommend them though.

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

StarTech just clarified it will work only for eSata port on external device and USB 3.0 on PC, not the other way round

Am a little technically challenged but I think first choice would be to run cat-5 cable, second would be the adapter (as long as the room holding the adapter is on the same electrical panel and third would be the extender.

The StarTech acts as a modem that is assigned a COM port ( 1,2,3 etc) when plugged into a USB port on your computer. If you have software that can recognize the Startech and has answer machine capabilities it should work ..... I have never tried it.

It will test cat6 runs for continuity and pair swaps but it's not a performance or bandwidth certification tool. It's just a basic DC tester.

I used this connector: Cat6a STP Rj45 Shielded Modular Plug - 100 Pieces by VC .It is a bit of a bear to get that wire in these. But it can be done.

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.

not sure, but CAT6 all the way has been working for me. the switch thing? not sure. these units are point2point.

Cat5 (and Cat5E) vs. Cat6. Cat6 is a later type of E-net cable specification capable of higher data rates (Gigabit) with less crosstalk interference. Simply, if you are cabling an Ethernet connection the Cat6 would offer a network theoretically "faster" with less noise. Fine IF all components and connections are also rated as Cat6. Otherwise the network would operate at a level equal to the lowest rated component. Lots of tech. details available that mostly would leave you with either terminal drowsiness or a colossal headache.If you are simply connecting home components you really don't need Cat6 (which has a higher price tag). Cat5 or Cat5E should work just fine. Cat5 (and Cat5E) vs. Cat6. Cat6 is a later type of E-net cable specification capable of higher data rates (Gigabit) with less crosstalk interference.

This doesn't. You can run one wire that covers both data and power. It's also low voltage so there are fewer limitations as to where and how you run it (cat5/cat6)

No , you need to run a sepret Ethernet cord . One of the best cords is a cat 6

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.

You can use either. I use cat 5 with video baluns and power adapter (pig tails) wired to the cat 5.

If Im not mistaken, the data link is just a pass-thru, so if you plug in GigE, then it should work at full speed. The big part of these are the 48VDC that it sends up the wire, and then you can choose via a switch on the "upper end" what you want your Vout to be. Awesome units, just dont plug the wall wart into the "upper" unit..... (also dont ask me how I know, and why I bought this one as a replacement.... lol) They SHOULD have made them have different barrel sizes for the power inject and take-off... Other than that (dont hook them up at o-dark-thirty out in the field when you cant read the small labeling), they work great, and seem to transfer enough power to run IP cams and such over 50+feet of CAT5e.

Assuming you are using standard ethernet cable with color pairs blue, orange, green and brown: the ethernet plug uses ornage/white and green/white whereas the injector plug uses brown/white. All the kit does is partition the cable so you can use any length cable for one ethernet connection and one power connection. There will be line loss with DC power so a long run may reduce the voltage considerably. I used this to have my router 30 feet away from the power source.

Google them. Each will carry different speeds. Cat6 is the fastest so if you are running at Cat6 speed and use a Cat5e the speed will be reduced. Cat6 is relatively new so I doubt you are running at that speed so it will probably work ok.
