    Default RJ45 on Cat6 LAN wire, can anyone help me?


    Just recently, I bought Cat6 LAN wire about 25 feet in length and have it divided into 4. Since I am not familiar with how to crimp RJ45 connectors, I had it done at a computer shop in SM...The connection is fine - internet, and my 2 WD My Book Live...My computer has a Gigabit LAN port, the 2 WD My Book Live are also Gigabit capable, and I have a CISCO Gigabit switch...My computer and the 2 WD My Book Live are connected to the CISCO Gigabit switch and for internet connection, the switch is connected to an Asus Router (10/100 fast ethernet),....my concern is the transfer rate from my PC to the WD My Book Live which I do not feel any improvement prior to install the Gigabit switch....

    Then recently, I read in the net that the "CAT5e RJ45 is not appropriate for CAT6 use (you can force it, but may compromise the higher speeds)." I now suspect that I am in this situation as I am sure the RJ45 connector used was for CAT5e and not for CAT 6....

    Where can I buy or ask someone to crimp the appreciate RJ45 for my CAT6 LAN cable? Or is it really true that there are RJ45 for CAT6 different from the RJ45 for CAT5e?

    1. Physical speed sa NIC sa pc. Properties sa local area connection

    2. Cat5, cat5e, cat6, differs in wire diameter, number of twists. Same rana connector across all UTP cable types.

    3. Do you have more speed when connecting wd live directly sa pc?

    4. You need cat6 compliant connector when using cat6 wires, sa quality sa copper connectors na.

    My average transfer rate from an internal HDD to My Book Live is around 9 to 11 MB per second...is this alright for a gigabit PC to NAS gigabit?
