Cat6 ethernet cables have a gauge size that ranges from large to smaller. You can find Cat6 ethernet cables having a gauge size of 23, 24 and This tells you the gauge size of the conductors in the cable. So if you see a 24AWG cable then this lets you know that the gauge size is Gauge sizes have an inverse relationship so the smaller the number the larger in size the conductors are and the larger the number the smaller the conductors.
Cat6 ethernet cables will have 8 copper wires inside them. They have 4 pairs of 2 copper wires surrounded in insulation material. The copper conductors are also twisted together for better performance against crosstalk. These wires are used to connect to modular RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks and patch panels. Each ethernet standard can require a different amount of the wires inside Cat6 cables.
The maximum length you can run Cat6 ethernet cable is feet meters. This doesn't mean that you can run this further but it is absolutely not recommended.
At longer distances on Cat6 cables signal strength can start to decrease and factors such as attenuation can happen, Keeping your Cat6 cable run shorter than feet ensures that gigabit speeds can perform reliably.
At shorter distances you can expect high speeds. Running Cat6 ethernet cables under feet gives you the opportunity to power 10Gb under ideal conditions. Not guaranteed but the proper equipment and good terminations gives you a great chance. Cat6 ethernet cables can come in many different variations. Here's how. Before you get started, make sure you have the necessary tools, and decide whether you're going to use Cat 5e or Cat 6 network cables.
There are four pairs of wires in an Ethernet cable, and an Ethernet connector 8P8C has eight pin slots. Each pin is identified by a number, starting from left to right, with the clip facing away from you.
TB is the most common and is what we'll be using for our straight Ethernet cable. The tables below show the proper orientation of the colored wires to the pins. Step 2: Spread the four pairs of twisted wire apart. For Cat 5e, you can use the pull string to strip the jacket farther down if you need to, then cut the pull string.
Cat 6 cables have a spine that will also need to be cut. Step 3: Untwist the wire pairs and neatly align them in the TB orientation. Some ethernet interfaces can cross and un-cross a cable automatically as needed, a handy feature. How to wire Ethernet Patch Cables: Strip off about 2 inches of the ethernet cable sheath.
Untwist the pairs - don't untwist them beyond what you have exposed, the more untwisted cable you have the worse the problems you can run into. Align the colored wires according to the wiring diagrams above. Insert the wires into the RJ45 plug - make sure each wire is fully inserted to the front of the RJ45 plug and in the correct order.
Crimp the RJ45 plug with the crimper tool. Verify the wires ended up the right order and that the wires extend to the front of the RJ45 plug and make good contact with the metal contacts in the RJ45 plug Cut the ethernet cable to length - make sure it is more than long enough for your needs. Repeat the above steps for the second RJ45 plug. How to wire fixed Ethernet Cables: Run the full length of ethernet cable in place, from endpoint to endpoint, making sure to leave excess. At one end, cut the wire to length leaving enough length to work, but not too much excess.
Strip off about 2 inches of the ethernet cable sheath. Align each of the colored wires according to the layout of the jack. Use the punch down tool to insert each wire into the jack. Repeat the above steps for the second RJ45 jack. If an ethernet cable tester is available, use it to verify the proper connectivity of the cable. That should be it, if your ethernet cable doesn't turn out, look closely at each end and see if you can find the problem.
Often a wire ended up in the wrong place or one of the wires is making no contact or poor contact. Also double check the color coding to verify it is correct. If you see a mistake or problem, cut the end off and start again.
A ethernet cable tester is invaluable at identifying and highlighting these issues. Try to minimize the ethernet cable length, the longer the cable becomes, the more it may affect performance.
