Hi this how to video explains the differences between cat5e and cat6 rj45 plugs and also the difference between stranded core and solid core rj45 plugs.
Solid core cable rj45 connectors.
Wiring pinouts of rj45 connectors.
Use of a connector with the wrong cable type is likely to lead to unreliable cabling.
Connectors need to be designed differently for solid core than for stranded.
Plugs designed for solid and stranded core are readily available and some vendors even offer plugs designed for use with both types.
This is not desirable since solid cable has the tendency to break when penetrated by the prong.
The t568a and t568b standards.
The punch down blocks on patch panel and wall.
These two piece cat6a ftp rj45 plugs are suitable for use only with cat6a solid core cable.
These two piece cat6a ftp rj45 plugs are suitable for use only with cat6a solid core cable they are sold individually and compatible with our universal rj45 crimp tool.
Solid cables are less useful when terminating with standard rj45 connectors as used when making patch cables.
Two standard rj45 pinouts define the arrangement of the individual eight wires needed when attaching connectors to a cable.
