How many ethernet (cat6) cables can fit through this?

lots, probably twenty? i have not stuffed it full of cat 6 before, but it'll handle quite a few.

If you notice the spacing on the ports, the designer is trying to indicate that you will have 4 ports to work with. But technical, all ports do the same thing. So, for example, if you currently have an Ethernet cable connected to your computer, you can disconnect that cable from your computer and plug it in to the far most left port yielding you 4 ports to work with whereupon one of those would be consumed by your PC, netting you 3 more ports. But technically, it doesn't matter what cable goes in what port. You end up netting 3 additional ports in this example I have given.

Haven't used it yet. Hopefully it does because I bought it for cat6 cables Good luck!

The Answer to this question is.....DEPENDS.....did you run a telephone cable to the other rooms? If yes, then the answer is Yes. If no, then the answer is no.It handle up to 4 incoming lines then you may distribute as you see fit using the other 6 ports.

I use a cat 5e cabling, It works just fine for me. I have never heard of Cat 6: is it even out there yet?

The short answer is YES. Cat 6 ethernet cable is supported by this switch as both the switch and Cat 6 cabling are capable of gigabit transfers. Either shielded or unshielded Cat 6 should work for you.I have a 5-port version of this switch and I routinely used Cat 6A shielded cables with it. My understanding is that the ports are plastic, but the switch can handle Cat 6 cables just fine. Any shielding on the cabling can be grounded at the opposite end from the switch, so it will still support grounding and shielding if that is what you want to do.I almost bought a second one of this style switch, but I decided that one was enough for my needs. I would buy more if I needed it.Good luck. The short answer is YES. Cat 6 ethernet cable is supported by this switch as both the switch and Cat 6 cabling are capable of gigabit transfers.

That is what I did and it works well. The one you plug the ethernet cable into will send a signal to the other 3.

There are no provisions for the shield on this patch panel. If using a shielded cat 6 you will have to come up with some sort of termination for the shield wire from the cables to the isolated ground. No big deal, it's just not included on the panel.

I have 4 cables/cords in mine, but it could accommodate at least a couple more. This is a really "slick" way to cover exposed cables up. I was a little confused by the tool you use to insert the cables at first, but it didn't take long to figure it out.

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

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.

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.

It's only got 1 Ethernet port. With that said, I've been considering attaching a hub to it to connect more and I can't think of a reason it wouldn't work.

It would be pretty really tight. i wouldn't reccomend it. You should probably use an hdmi over cat5/6 extender if you wanted to go through conduit.

Strictly speaking you can run Cat6 328 feet. This is a specification of all cat6 which this cable should conform to.

Looking at it, it appears to support all eight conductors, and have only used it with CAT5 cable with good results over my network and internet. Not much help beyond that, sorry...

This adapter allows two computers to be connected together with a Cat 6 cable, without a Ethernet Switch in the middle. Only one adapter is needed on one end of the Cat 6 cable. It does not matter which end of the cable the adapter is installed on.
