[H] Network Cat 6 cable recco
Hello, Anyone suggest a good brand of cable for in wall network runs of cat 6? They will be terminated and wall plates/jacks put in and then we will use patch cable from there to the device. I understand solid core is the way to go for the in wall runs, 24 AWG is the best? Posting one final time. -- Regards, joeuser - Still looking for the 'any' key... ...now these points of data make a beautiful line...

Mohawk is decent, although if it is certified it doesn't really matter. Solid is definitely the best in general as non-solid can be a pita to get a good termination. Keep in mind you might need shielded cable or plenum cable depending on what obstacles and where you are running it. You also might just want to go with a selection from here as well: http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102cp_id=10234 -- Bryan G. Seitz

I would think that mostly any cable from a reputable company would be fine. It is supposed to pass certain tests to be rated Cat 6. One good place is www.monoprice.com. I think that any of the plenum cables are fine for in-wall. I have heard the same - that solid wire is good for wiring point-to-point where it will not be moved and that stranded is best for patch cables and there the cables will be moved a lot.

Yeah, stranded bends easier but solid provides a better connection IMO :)
