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.
The t568a and t568b standards.
Both follow a convention of coating individual wires in one of five colors brown green orange blue or white with certain stripe and solid combinations.
These two piece cat6a ftp rj45 plugs are suitable for use only with cat6a solid core cable.
Solid cables are less useful when terminating with standard rj45 connectors as used when making patch cables.
Most rj45 connectors use 2 prongs which penetrate the conductor itself.
Two standard rj45 pinouts define the arrangement of the individual eight wires needed when attaching connectors to a cable.
This is not desirable since solid cable has the tendency to break when penetrated by the prong.
The punch down blocks on patch panel and wall.
Plugs designed for solid and stranded core are readily available and some vendors even offer plugs designed for use with both types.
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.
