Cat 6 Jack on Cat 5 wire? - 08/11/11 05:26 AM
I just bought some Cat 6 jacks because they were cheap. I am wondering if these will work with Cat 5 or Cat 5e wire. I know --- check with the manufacturer. But I don't have time for that. I just wanted to get you all's opinion. What concerns me is that Cat 6 wire is 23 gague while Cat 5 and Cat 3 wire is 24 gague, which is thinner. I read another post here where someone did check on this issue and the manuf. said it would work.
