I think the differences are the shielding of the wires and all so they can take the higher frequencies.

I have the tools necessary to do this. I want to replace and end of a factory made CAT6 cable with a new connector because the existing one lost it's clip. After looking into this it appears that CAT 5e and CAT6 are exactly the same for the purposes of assembly. Same connectors, same wiring scheme, so the difference must be within the wires themselves... am I correct? I just make up a CAT6 just like I did CAT5e?
