Can I run Cat6a through the matrix switch?

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.

I was told to use Cat&a; because you'll have more lenght (100m) but if I'm not wrong Cat6 "should maybe" works, if you don't know get Cat&a; because the price diffrence is not very high if you buy a bunch of cables.

The cables need to go directly from the Matrix to the Balun, they cannot be ran through a router or switch of any kind.

Well, I am using it to cat 6 plugs and cables and works but i did not fully test it on gigabit switch, but for phone links i guess this will work.

Unfortunately, no because the matrix connects via cat 5 or 6 directly to the 4 receivers which signal is passed through hdmi output.

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.

Yes, that's how I ran - one Ethernet cable. The separate 12V connector is in the case you don't have a POE switch.

Yes as this is an unmanaged switch just think of it as an ethernet splitter

Yes, that is true unless you use a sw44 switch before the node switch. There are diagrams on the internet. I hope this helps.

I've gotten nearly a gigabit transfer rate through this connector using a 60ft run of CAT5-E wiring. But you must wire it correctly and carefully! Full instructions and caveats on how to wire it with the included punch-down tool are in the package.

It cannot be used through a network switch. The cat 5/6 has to be directly attached the unit.

I use cat6 at my setup as it is already wired throughout the house. Cat5 should be fine also.

I have no idea if that would work but I have to ask why would you want to do that? Its a very expensive solution to use the multiport adapter ($77 from amazon) to replace a $20.00 Ethernet switch

not a matrix. it splits and extends hdmi thru cat5 . i purchased but returned because it did not have the receiving units that go at th tv to convert cat 5 back to hdmi.

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.

No, it's a switch. You will need the EdgeRouter: Ubiquiti EdgeMax EdgeRouter Lite ERLite-3 512MB Memory 3 Ethernet Ports Router or Ubiquiti Networks - ERPOE-5 - EdgeRouter POE 24VDr C 1.25A Power Adapter

Don't understand the question. CAT5 from my modem feeds port #1 on the router which drives all other ports on the router. But all ports are the same therefore you could feed modem to any and use any other port to the rest of you gear, computers, printers, et al. Don't believe these routers accept CAT6.
