I've just spent the weekend running Cat6 cable under the house only to find that my RJ45 crimping stinks - personally I think it's probably the tool or the jack plugs :) Anyway, I was thinking of using a patch panel instead as my keystone fitting is much better (IMO). So I've found these on TradeMe; http://www.trademe.co.nz/computers/networking-modems/other/auction-499370372.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/computers/networking-modems/hubs-switches/auction-500898659.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/computers/cables-adaptors/networking/auction-500843192.htm The only thing is the first auction says Cat6 but the picture says Cat5e - on a patch panel, is there any difference? Perhaps you can recommend another alternative (including a good price on short patch leads). I could just be a cheapskate and buy 8 more Cat6 Keystone RJ45 Jacks/boxes and plates and 8 patch leads - but at least I would know that I had Cat6 gear. Any thoughts?
