Question 1

Will this be a sufficient cable to run power over ethernet (poe)?

Accepted Answer

Likewise, I have ran thousands of feet of True Cable CAT6. Most of this cable connects to POE equipment (WiFi Access Points, Cameras, VOIP phones, etc..). Very easy to prep and crimp. The color code is easy to read (some brands are not). Further, I always use a network analyzer (not just continuity) to certify the cable run at CAT6 (1Gbs speed), but I can often pass the CAT6a (10Gbs speed) test with this cable. Every time I plan or install an indoor network project, this is the cable I use.

Question 2

What is the outside diameter of the cable?

Accepted Answer

5.90 mm outer jacket diameter

Question 3

Are there recommended pass through connectors for this cable?  I'd like to make sure they'll fit and support 10gb.

Accepted Answer

The product info says you can use shielded or unshielded Cat6 RJ45 connectors with 23AWG solid conductors and an insulated wire diameter of 0.96mm. The Cat6 connector (ASIN B0C3HLM6RG) can handle insulated wire diameters between 0.95-1.03mm, which is within the range you need. So, it should work fine for you.

Question 4

How many of these unshielded cat6 wires can be bundled together before alien crosstalk becomes a concern?

Accepted Answer

Thanks for your question. The number is not fixed, as each installation is different. For example, 30 bundled together in one installation may not pose issues where 20 may pose an issue for another installation. The difference lies in whether some wires are carrying NBASE-T protocols, 10GBASE-T, or simply 1 Gigabit and how many of which. This is why testing your install, post-completion, is the best way to go about this.
