I don't know what I'm talking about, and I do think there are additional higher standards for CAT6, so by using a hand trip tool you might technically not be able to max out CAT6 (maybe?), but having said that... I crimped some in-wall grade CAT6 and the only real difference was that the CAT6 cable had this rigid plastic spine running down the middle of the cable sheath. I cut it back and crimped as normal. Running on gigabit just fine.
