[Hewhosmokeswomen]

[ilovemaryam08]

TIA/EIA-568-A-5? is this 568B? if not how do i wire this up?

[vidmr24]

i have a cat6 will that work with an xbox360

[MyRandomReviews]

@vidmr24 - Why wouldn't it? Why not just try it? It's a global standard which works with pretty much every other ethernet equipped device in the entire world. :P

I have a dual band wireless N gigabit router, cable modem, and onboard gigabit LAN. I am currently using cat5e to connect both the modem to the router and the router to the network adapter. Would I benefit from upgrading to cat6 in terms of bandwidth speed?

[Amishman35]

Anyone got some powerful 4 ohm 18 inch car subwoofers? Do you want to set a land speed record for the woofer cone leaving the basket (excursion) and going through 6 feet of concrete? Then hook the speaker directly up to a cheap antenna in the presence of wired ethernet. The QRM on the Cat5e cable I had before I switched to Wireless G was bloody LOUD. Made shortwave radio listening impossible.

so overall cat 6 is better

[BADASSEDWIN]

hahhahaha PS3 comes with a cat6 cable already

[BADASSEDWIN]

hey i have COD4 for ps3 and im hooked up with a cat6 cable and its hooked up with a WRT54G wireless router but when i play onli i dont get full signal bar..

[bowtiebarn]

@BADASSEDWIN try an N router with dual bandwidth

[Kosovoboy15]

Hey I have an Xbox 360 and im going to get a ethernet cable should I get Cat5e or Cat6 for hooking it up to a router so I can get Xbox live? Also what router should I get from $30 - $60? !!!!!!PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

[ServerRacksAndCable]

Cat5e would meet your needs. Visit Server Racks and Cable to get the best price and quality Cat5e. In terms of router, you might like LINKSYS WRT54G IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless-G Broadband Router.

[TheWhiteRabbit1990]

Chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Link a cat 6 to your router wont mater if your router cant handle it. if your router can take advantage of it its still pointless because the likely hood of the cable going from your router to your ISP is probably only a cat5 or 5e at most.

[EVILTRIPS666]

Cat5e is all the xbox's engineering uses.

[realistic28]

Does not really matter what cable you use. Majority of routers have cross over technology. Check your routers manual to see.

[bowtiebarn]

@Kosovoboy15 I would first get an N router with dual bandwidth, N is faster than G ,and having dual will allow other components in your home that don't support N to work as well. 2nd I would get the Cat6, it's backwards compatable to Cat5e and you'll be all set for when it changes over.

Great video.

[DiiTv]

Will a cat 6 allow me to go to the internet? BEcause I am having a network problem and I can't seem to connect to the internet with CAT6 cable. It only says local area connection.

[ServerRacksAndCable]

Cat 6 cable should allow you to connect to the Internet unless there is a problem with the cable like broken wire or a crossed wire in the Jumper cable or some other specific cable problem. Otherwise your problem is due to something else like an incompatibility problem in your system setup. If you want Cat6 cables that are 100% tested, visit our site.

[sbanks10023]

Cat5e would work for you fine

[ServerRacksAndCable]

Yes Cat5e would work. If you go to our website ServerRacksAndCable you can pick the best length and color for you.
