Does this unit support CAT6 / Gigabit / 1000BASE-T cable testing?

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.

This unit will not test throughput. It will test Ethernet pin outs and shorts with the far end adapter. It also sends a strong tone.

The simple answer is you need to purchase CAT6a keystone jacks in order to realize the full potential of CAT6a speeds. Since CAT6a allows for 10GBASE-T @ 500MHz, you need to ensure that all components of your cable installation are certified for CAT6a performance.

Yes any data device with an ethernet socket. Note performance (speed) is dependent on your cable eg cat6 and existing electrical circuit as stated by the manufacturer.

from the research that I did, it certainly looks like that. The same tools can be found in a different kit on amazon.com for both Cat5 and Cat6.

Likely yes, but : "...that's wired with cat6 if" what? I don't think your whole question made it into the post.

It will confirm correct wiring on cat5 and cat6 however the one I got only tested 2 wires then broke internally bumping around in by tool bag. It will do quite a distance beyond 100ft.

Suggest you ask Etekcity since they've responded to prior questions. Our unit is providing HD video quality over 90 feet from its source over one Cat6

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

not with this product. this product is intended to allow only a single cable (cat5/cat6) to provide both communications and Power to a Remote Access Point or Router.

The description has the following listed: "Compliant with EIA/TIA Cat6, Draft 11" So I'd assume no.

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.

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.

1. Yes, you'll need one for each end of the wire you are testing.2. Assuming that the CAT5 tester works the same way (as a continuity tester) then it should work.

Yes, Gigabit ethernet is supported. The on-board network connector supports 10/100/1000Mbps connection speeds. 1000Mbps is equal to 1 gigabit per second, thus the term "Gigabit ethernet". Of course you should have a Gigabit Router\Switch and CAT5e or CAT6 cables to get the best speeds between your other LAN PCs. Your network is only as fast as the slowest device... or "weakest link".

Yes to Ethernet pass through. The port is 10/100. You need the T42 to get gigabyte.

Cat5 - can handle 10/100 Mbps speeds (Fast Ethernet) at up to 100 MHz bandwidth. Cat5e (enhanced) - can handle 1000 Mbps speeds (gigabit Ethernet) at 100 MHz. Cat6 - can handle 10 gigabit Ethernet at 250 MHz. Yes it can work. But the speed will be limited to up to 1Gbps or 1000Mbps only. If your Cat6 line go over 1Gbps, using Cat5e will not be able to maximize your connection speed.

not cat6, could not get better than 50Mbps transfer rates, vs 800+Mbps with known cat 5e cable.
