Pulled that crap down many years ago and went back to Shireen 5e. If needed, we use fiber.

We've started using DC-1042 for all our tower cable as well, and I'm pretty happy with it so far. I really don't see the point in using cat6.

Shireen DC-1042 shielded dry gel tape is our preferred tower cable. We use Primus shielded plugs and the conductors fit the channels fine. The cable diameter is a little bigger due to the gel tape, but it fits in the plug body even with the foil turned over and pulled back to make contact with the tongue.

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 No virus found in this message.
