I just picked up some Shireen DC-2021 Cat6 cable, thinking I would start using Cat6 for my Mimosa installations (as suggested).
It turns out, the individual insulation is too big for any of my RJ45 ends, and the jacket is also too big. Now, I'm looking at Cat6A connectors (that have a staggered insert and a full shield). Next, I will need a new crimper that does not crush the shield on the Cat6A connector. Anyhow, it seems like a lot of work to use Cat6 where some ToughCable and basic shielded RJ45 connectors might be functionally equivalent. Should I be seriously considering Cat6? When did you decide Cat6 was worth it? -Chris
