Re: tool-less vs. punch-down CAT jacks + cables said by Mizzat:said by Jack_in_VA:said by Mizzat:I used those exact tool-less keystones on my Cat 6 that I rewired my house with. All worked fine and not a single failure yet. All running 1Gbps.
What data are you running at 1 Gbps? Large data files (30GB+) from SSD RAIDs. Oh, file size not data transfer speed. What is your transmission speed? |

Thanks for all who replied. Probably more than I ever need to know. 
I plan on using the CAT6 connector with a punchdown tool and a solid CAT6 riser cable.
Does anyone know if HD or Lowes sell bulk CAT6, or any mail order place that sells a quantity other than a full spool/reel?

I got 1000f of cat6 for 80$ (shipped) off eBay.
You either buy terminated lenghts, or you buy a full 1000f. |

i buy 5e from a local supply house for 50$ a 1000ft spool. I stock CAT 6 but only when people request it, its a bit thick and most people wont need anything more than gig |

Looking at cables, there are CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) and solid copper. Aside from the obvious (i.e. price, composition, etc.) is there any difference between the two?
